(by Rachel Guarini - friend)
1 jelly roll pan (lip on all sides)
enough saltine crackers to entirely cover the bottom of the pan
1 cup white sugar
2 sticks butter (NO substitutes)
1 - 12oz. bag Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bits
Line a jelly roll pan with foil. Cover the foil with a single layer of saltine
crackers (they should all be touching each other). Break crackers to fit
on the sides if needed. In a saucepan over medium heat add butter
and white sugar--stir and bring to a rolling boil, then cook/stir for 5
minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and carefully spread the butter
mixture over the top of all the crackers. Bake at 350 degrees for 8
minutes or until golden brown. Remove pan from oven and
immediately sprinkle the entire bag of chocolate chips evenly over the
top of the butter mixture--let them melt. Use a greased spatula to
carefully spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top. Cool
completely, then refrigerate until cold and hard. Once hard, break into
pieces. Keep refrigerated.
