Trust me when I tell you, just do not go and make this. Part 1 and 2

This does not sound like much, but believe me when I tell you it is delicious. It. Is. Delicious. You. Will. Not. Be. Able. To. Stop. Eating. It. You. Will. Make. Your. Self. Sick.

Really Sick. You will eat almost the entire pan, then throw the rest out, vowing to never make it again. Then you'll lay down in a sugar coma for the rest of the day. It is that good.

I'm serious.

Part 1:
(Trisha Yearwood's recipe in Country Living Magazine)

Line a large 9 x 13 inch pan with foil.

Pre-heat oven to 400.

Lay out 30 Saltine crackers flat on foil. (Yes, Saltines. Don't turn your nose up. They are delicious. Just wait and see).

Do not over lap Saltines.

In pan, melt one stick of butter with 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Stir well until it begins to boil. When it begins to boil, do not touch it for 3 minutes.

Then pour it over the crackers.

Put it in oven for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

Spread 1 cup of chocolate chips over the hot mixture. Let melt, then swirl on top.

(My variation: Sprinkle pecans/walnuts on now too)

Let cool at least 1 hour, then break apart.

Do not try to eat when it is hot.

You will burn your fingers and your tongue.

Trust me.


Save yourself some misery and just don't make this either. Part 2:
("Salted Toffee Chocolate Squares" Martha Stewart's Everyday Food Magazine)

Line a large 9 x 13 inch pan with foil.

Pre-heat oven to 350.

Lay out 13 Graham crackers flat on foil. Do not over lap.

Sprinkle 1 8 ounce bag of Toffee Chips (Chopped up heath bar).

Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of toasted almonds slices on top.

In pan, melt two sticks of butter with 1/2 cup of sugar. Stir well until it begins to boil and becomes syrupy. About two minutes.

Pour it over the crackers.

Bake for 12 minutes.

Sprinkle 3/4 cup of chocolate chips over top.

Sprinkle 3/4 teaspoon course salt on top. (do not skip this part. I know you think you'll save yourself some grief and limit your salt. Now is not the time for that. Sprinkle the salt on. Its an important step).

Let cool.

I'm serious.

Let it cool. Somehow, these are even hotter than the other ones and will burn your tongue so badly you'll cry and ask your husband to take you to the Emergency Room.

Don't ask about how I know this.
