I know what you're thinking...Crackers in candy? What?! Seriously though, this recipe is quite popular in the south, It is easy to make and absolutely delicious! There are several different ways you can make this, but each one begins with a saltine cracker base.

2 sticks Butter (8 ounces)
1 cup packed Brown sugar
1 sleeve of Saltine crackers
12 oz package Semi sweet Chocolate chips

If you want to make Chocolate/Peanut Butter candy, use 1/2 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 bag of peanut butter chips.

When I made the semi sweet chocolate/ white chocolate version I used granulated sugar instead of the brown sugar and I put sliced almonds on top while the chocolate was still melted. So Yummy!
