homemade heath bars

Steve and I stopped by one of our friend’s homes on New Years Day and tasted heaven…also known as homemade heath bars.  I insisted on getting the recipe so I could share this scrumptious experience with you. Just to warn you, these are HIGHLY addictive so if you have limited willpower make sure you have someplace to bring them so you won’t eat the entire pan yourself.

homemade heath bars

35 saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
5 (4-ounce) milk chocolate bars, broken into pieces

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a 15 by 10 by 1-inch jelly roll pan (cookie pan with edges) with tin foil. Lightly spray foil with a non-stick cooking spray.

Place saltine crackers, salty side up, in prepared pan. In a saucepan, boil butter and sugar for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Pour mixture over crackers and bake for 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven, top with candy bars, and spread evenly as chocolate begins to melt. Cool slightly and transfer onto waxed paper. Allow to cool completely.
