Sweet And Sassy-Er-Salty

Did you think this was
going to be post
about 
SweetCheeks?
You know...
Sweet and Sassy?
(You DO see what the
shirt says, right?;>)

But- NOPE
This is going to be
a post about
Saltines.
Only they don't TASTE like
Saltines.
This is a fun little 
Sweet Treat 
that takes no time to 
prepare and is just 
plain good.
Sweet & Salty Saltines
(Trisha Yearwood Recipe)

40 Saltines
2 sticks butter
1 cup light brown sugar
8 oz (1 -1/3 cups) chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 425º.  Line large cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lay out the saltine crackers.
In medium saucepan melt butter and brown sugar and bring to a boil.  Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour evenly over crackers.  Bake for  5 minutes (or just until bubbly).
Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over saltines.  As they melt spread them over cracker with a knife.  Transfer to freezer for 15-20 minutes or until completely cold.  Break into pieces and store in airtight container.

For really SWEET treat use graham crackers instead of Saltines.
For Crunchier cracker use one stick of butter rather than two.



You are going to love these!
Pinky promise!!!!
And remember-
Give these to your friends 
BECAUSE...
The fatter they get
The skinnier you look!;>) 
Tomorrow I will be posting
The winner of
The BLOVE giveaway.
Sassy SweetCheeks will be
doing the drawing today!

    I do believe that the Wisconsin Cows are paying you to sell butter...

    YUM-EEEE! These sound divine and the recipe looks too easy (if you know what I mean...so easy that I will probably make them and eat them all...not good for my diet).
    Thanks so much for sharing this sweet and salty recipe...good combo.

    Ooooh!! A friend of mine made these a couple months ago, and I keep 'forgetting' to make them, knowing I would definitely be consuming the entire batch!! These are sooooo good!!

    Thanks for making my mouth water early this morning :)

    It's a good thing I don't have any crackers in the house. That looks like the kind of thing where you only mean to eat one! ~ Maureen

    I had a friend who made these and they are so good and addictive! I think one stick of butter is probably a better idea for me since I'd probably eat them all!

    I have a similar version using chocolate graham crackers and pecans. These things are addictive. Everyone loves them. I'm going to make this version when my little niece comes back in 2 weeks. She will love it!

    Okay you have me drooling. These sound dangerous, I know if I made these I would eat every piece.

    OK, I noticed the TWO sticks of butter and immediately feared for my hips. They do sound wonderful though. Maybe I can make them and freeze them so I only eat one or two a day.

    This is just the recipe I need. Every time I eat chocolate (and I confess, that's often), I immediately head to the pantry to look for something salty. Now I can take care of both cravings at once. Sounds perfect!

    Oooooh, you are just plain evil Diana! I think you are trying to fatten us all up! I've made this before with graham crackers, they are just too good, it's hard to stop eating them!!

    Oh, Diana! These are positively lethal! More than once they were the reason for my extra holiday pounds!

    Oh Boy! Those look veeeeeeeeeerry yummy. :)

    I may try them. As soon as I can get to the store to get everything. I like chocolate frosting on graham crackers so I may use those first.

    Have a great evening and a wonderful Wednesday.

    Take care, Janet W

    I couldn't quite get into it until you mentioned exchanging the saltine for the graham cracker. Now we've got ourselves a yummy treat!
