Disappearing Crunch Bars

My mom use to make these all the time when I was growing up!  They are so yummy....as the name suggests they don't last long :)  Having such a fond memory of these I made them for my son's first school Christmas party!!  After not having them for years they tasted even better then I remembered! 

Disappearing Crunch Bars

One sleeve of saltine crackers
2 sticks butter
1 cup light brown sugar
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
chopped walnuts or coconut (optional)

Heat oven to 400 degrees. 

Line a 15x10 inch baking sheet with foil.  Place saltines onto baking sheet.

In small saucepan bring butter and brown sugar to a boil over medium heat.  Boil for 3 minutes.  Pour mixture over saltines and place in oven for approx. 7 minutes.

 Watch the crackers carefully.  When the mixture begins to bub ble open oven and sprinkle on chocolate chips.  Let them sit for 1-2 minutes until they start to soften. 

When chips are soft spread them out over the mixture.  You can add nuts and or coconut at this time if wanted.  When pan is cooled to room temperature place into refrigerator to cool completely.

Break into pieces and serve.  If not serving right away, keep in refrigerator to maintain crispness!
