I found this recipe for Saltine Candy Treats off Blissfully Domestic and made some for Valentine’s Day (yes, I’m fully aware V-Day was over two weeks ago). Leah made a version of these at Christmas, using cheez-its, so I called her in to help me out. Props to her for the photos!

I thought the contrast of fat free crackers with a cup of butter was pretty ironic. Don’t ya think?

Cover a cookie sheet with tin foil. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange crackers in rows and columns, overlapping for extra layers.

Melt 1 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar. Bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes.

Spread over crackers and place in the oven at 400* for 5 minutes.

Once done, remove from oven and cover with chocolate chips, spreading them to make a frosting. Leah had a helpful hint of placing it back in the turned-off oven to melt the chocolate. Worked like a charm.

And the finished product:

The contrast of sweet and salty is really yum. Makes a very delicious cookie substitute!
