Christmas Bark

*Makes approximately 40 pieces; I doubled the recipe and made it on two cookie sheets; ended up with 2 platters of goodies!  It is easy and yummy!

1 sleeve saltine crackers

1 cup butter

1/2 cup light brown sugar

12. oz. semisweet chocolate morsels

1 cup. chopped nuts (I used peanuts, but you can use pecans, walnuts, etc.)

Parchment paper (a must)!

1.   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.   Place crackers in one layer on parchment lined baking sheet with sides.

3.   Melt butter and brown sugar in medium saucepan.  Cook for 3 minutes,

      stirring constantly.

4.   Pour butter/sugar mixture over the crackers and spread evenly.

5.   Bake for 15 minutes.

      to melt, spread evenly over entire layer of crackers.

7.   Sprinkle chopped nuts on top.

8.   Put in oven with temperature off for a minute or two to let chocolate melt.

9.   Refrigerate for one hour or more.
