Ingredients

36 to 45 saltine cracker squares
1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter
1 cup sugar
1 (12-ounce) package (2 cups) real semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped peanuts

Directions

Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Lightly spray foil with no-stick cooking spray. Place saltine crackers in single layer onto prepared pan. If necessary, break additional crackers in half to fill in any gaps.

Combine butter and sugar in 1-quart saucepan; cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking 1-2 minutes until mixture thickens slightly. Pour mixture over crackers; spread to coat all crackers.

Bake 5 minutes (mixture will look foamy). Remove from oven; sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over crackers. Continue baking 1-2 minutes or until chips are slightly melted.

Gently spread chocolate mixture over crackers; sprinkle peanuts evenly over top. Cool completely. Break or cut into pieces.

Recipe Tip

- Substitute brown sugar for sugar for a more toffee-like flavor.

- Substitute your favorite nut for chopped peanuts.

A Delicious Holiday Gift -- Tangerine Curd
December 09, 2013 by Becky
A Delicious Holiday Gift -- Tangerine Curd

I enjoy looking for a new gift-giving idea when the holiday season rolls around. Making a special food gift is always at the top of my list. In past years, I have given my favorite caramel snack mix, hot fudge sauce, spiced nuts, pumpkin and banana bread, fudge, caramels and peanut brittle. When I saw the recipe for Tangerine Curd being developed in the Test Kitchens for our 2013 Holiday Recipe Brochure, “Wrapping Up the Holidays,” I knew I had found my gift for this year.
