Chocolate Saltine Crackers

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 cookie sheet with aluminum foil.

Place the saltine crackers on the foil, single, not on top of each other.

In a saucepan, melt together the butter and sugar. Pour the butter/sugar mixture onto the crackers. Place in the oven for 5 minutes. It will be bubbly when it comes out. Turn oven off. Pour the chocolate chips over the crackers. Place in the oven for about 1 minute to get the chips soft.

Remove from oven and gently spread the chips, like icing. Sprinkle with nuts (if using). Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes. Break apart, like brittle. Store in an airtight container.

Variation -- use a mixture of chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.
