These are too easy to NOT make....make them!! Then do it again, and again.....

Saltine Almond Roca



1 column saltines
2 sticks butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
12 oz. chocolate chips (melted)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Layer saltines on foil line cookie sheet (grease lightly). Boil butter and sugar for 3 minutes-it will get thick as all get out and darker. Pour butter and sugar mixture over saltines. Spread evenly over the tops of the crackers.
Bake for 6-7 minutes (watch carefully, it burns easy). Remove from oven and spread melted chocolate chips. Sprinkle with chopped almonds (or whatever nuts you like...I've been digging the pecans).
Cool in fridge or freezer. Break into pieces.
Eat the crud out of em.
Repeat as necessary.

DEB NOTE: The times I've made them we put the nuts on for the baking process and then just melted chocolate and drizzled it all over.....maybe one of these times I will make it as the recipe suggests..... Just know there are options! 
Also, one of these days maybe I'll do the fat free or wheat crackers just to slightly counterbalance the kankload of bad for you stuff to follow...one of these days.
 I also already bought matzo crackers to do this lil treat for Hanukkah...Mazeltov!
