I saw this recipe and made it for Sheva Brachot for Zach and Becca. It is easy and incredibly, sinfully scrumptious. It's a cross between candy and bars.
The recipe was in the Inquirer, but I adapted it some.
1/4 lb saltine crackers (About one sealed sleeve of them).
2 sticks butter = one cup
1 c brown sugar
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. finely chopped nuts - walnuts, pecans, or almonds
Spray an 11 x 17 jelly roll pan well.
Preheat oven to 375-400
Cover the bottom of the pan with the saltines. You can break them and put the pieces if you have leftover space. Tighter is fine.
In a medium sauce pan combine butter and sugar. Head over medium heat to boiling, stirring often. Boil 3 minutes without stirring. Pour over crackers and spread evenly. Don't worry about the mixture going under the crackers.
Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes. They will be bubbling.
Take out and sprinkle the top evenly with the chocolate chips. After about 5 minutes, take a flat spatula or knife and spread the melting chips. Pour and finely chopped nuts into the melting chocolate, pressing down.
Cool completely. When it's set and hardened, it's not hard to pull apart. The saltines work as perforation. You can freeze these.
I believe you can substitute matzah and do this at Passover.

Of course, what is a serving of this?!
