Cracker Candy

This "candy" has a saltine cracker base topped with syrup, chocolate and almonds. Break apart and serve.
INGREDIENTS:
• Saltine crackers
• 1c. packed brown sugar
• 1c. real butter
• 1 12-ounce pkg. semisweet chocolate pieces
• 1 small bag chopped almonds

METHOD:
Line cookie sheet with foil to cover. Brush foil with cooking oil. Arrange saltine crackers over the foil to cover whole area. Preparation: Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a nonstick pan add brown sugar and butter and bring to a boil. Boil, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Remove and pour over crackers; bake for 5 minutes. Take out and pour chocolate chips on top of brown sugar mixture; let melt then spread evenly over mixture. Sprinkle almonds on top, then put in refrigerator till firm. Remove from foil and break into pieces to eat.

NOTES:
Never use anything other than real butter; margarine won't work. Should taste like a toffee candy bar. Enjoy.

I've tried a slightly different version of this recipe in the past and it is very good! It's definitely a new spin on candy! I'll try to find the other version and post it.
