Christmas Brittle

This is one of the easiest, tastiest recipes for a Christmas treat.  This is a great thing to make while you're making your holiday cookies.  

Ingredients:

1 stick of butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 sleeve of saltines
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.  Lay all of the saltine crackers down onto the sheet, one next to the other.  Fill the entire sheet with the crackers.  Now, in a saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and the vanilla.  Cook on medium heat until it is all dissolved.  Once dissolved, pour the mixture over the crackers.  Bake this for about six minutes at 350 degrees.  Then, take it out and pour the chocolate chips over the crackers.  Make sure to sprinkle the chips evenly.  Put back in the oven for about three more minutes.  Smooth the melted chocolate out with a spatula.  Cover it with plastic wrap and put in the fridge overnight.  The next day, break it up into pieces.  The brittle is done!  Enjoy!
