How to make Choco Crispies.....

Hey there everyone,

Today will be a quick little post about a new favorite dessert that I have discovered.  I saw this on Tricia Yearwood's cooking show on the food network.   It seemed easy and the combination of salty and sweet is to die for!  We even gave this to Ashton's Papaw for his birthday.  Let's get started. 

First, lay out saltine crackers on a cookie sheet. 

Next, melt butter and brown sugar on medium low.  I think I used about half a stick of butter to 1/3 cup of brown sugar. You are creating a kind of caramel, so you may need to play with it a bit to get the consistency right.  You don't want it too thick or too runny nor do you want it too sugary or too buttery.   

Once the caramel is ready, spread this alllllll over the saltines..... yummmmm!  Next take a bag of chocolate chips or bakers chocolate and melt them in the microwave.  I start with 1 minute then stir and then microwave for 30 seconds between stirs.  Do this until its nice and melted.  By now the caramel has probably set up nicely on the crackers.  Spread the chocolate on top of this.  Oh yea, now we're talkin'!

Now set this in your freezer (if you have impatient little ones )  or in the fridge for 30 minutes or so.  You want this to set up nice and firm.  Now you can break this up kind of like a brittle or candy bark. 

I hope you try this .... it's crazy good, easy to make and not expensive at all to make! 

Until next time friends!
