Here is a recipe for one of my family favorites - I call it cracker crack because once you start you can't stop eating it. I have used matzoh (for Passover), Saltines and graham crackers. I personally like the graham crackers the best but the saltines are good too. Matzoh is good when you are stuck eating it for Passover and there are not many good desserts.
1 Cup white sugar
2 Sticks butter
1 Trader Joes Pound Plus Dark Chocolate bar (plus a few squares of the 72% extra dark bar)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler while the rest is baking
Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and crackers
Melt the butter and sugar together and wait until it boils for 3 minutes - it becomes very frothy and I stir it a lot so it does not burn.
Pour the mixture over the crackers and spread evenly (and very quickly) with a knife. If you are too slow it becomes difficult to spread
Bake for 10 minutes or until nicely browned
Pour the chocolate on and spread evenly
Sprinkle with salt while chocolate is still melted
Let cool a little and then put in the refrigerator or freezer to harden chocolate or else cutting is difficult and messy
Cut into pieces and try to stop eating them….
