Saltine Heath Bars

 A classic, and a must have in Andy's freezer "treasure chest."

  • 1 c (2 sticks) butter
  • 1 c brown sugar
  • about a sleeve or so of saltine crackers
  • 12-18 oz chocolate chips (original recipe states 12 oz- I find this too skimpy and use more)
Preheat oven to 400. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with foil, shiny side up. Place a layer of saltine crackers in the cookie sheet so they cover the bottom- you may need to break several crackers in half to fit. Bring butter and brown sugar to a boil in a sauce pan, watching carefully, until bubbly and fully mixed. Immediately pour over the crackers, then place in the oven for 5 min. Remove from oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot bars. When melted in a few minutes (you may need to put it back in the oven for about a minute) spread the melted chocolate evenly over the bars. Cool in pan in the refrigerator (or on the porch for many months of the year) and cut/break into bars. They freeze well.
