Cracker Crack, Heath Bar Cookies, Toffee Bars...lots of names for this easy, yummy bar

Heath Bar Candy was my mom's go-to recipe for a quick dessert.  Any really, why not?  Almost every ingredient was standard pantry fare.  Her recipe called for graham crackers, but I prefer the sweet-salty taste of saltines.  Make these next time you are craving a sweet treat!

Heath Bar Cracker Crack

Approximately 40 saltine crackers
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
12 oz bag of chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Heat oven to 400.  Ine 10x15x1 jelly roll pan with foil.  Arrange crackers on foil-lined pan.  In saucepan melt butter and brown sugar.  Heat to boiling, then boil for 3 minutes.  Pour or spoon sauce over crackers.  Bake approximately 7 minutes, watching carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.  Remove from oven, then immediate sprinkle with chocolate chips, spreading the chips as they melt.  Sprinkle with nuts.  Cool, then refrigerate until hard.  Break into pieces and store in the refrigerator.
