Questions & Replies

  1. Can I use wax paper or do you have to use the foil and cooking spray?
     
  2. Every time I place the chocolate chips on top of the hot crackers, they do not melt well. I’ve tried even placing the tray in the oven with chips on it and that doesn’t help What am I doing wrong

  1. Quick, easy and tasty. Reminds me of chocolate covered toffee. I halved the recipe and put it in a 9 x 13 pyrex. (used 15 saltines -they fit well and half of everything else). Put sliced almonds on the top. Yummy!
     
  2. Really super yummy! They lose their crunch and get soggy fast though so eat em real quick or store em in a very airtight container.
     
  3. These were outstanding!! Amazingly easy to prepare, and very fast, also. My printer got a real workout, as all of my co-workers wanted the recipe. Most of them have gotten turned on to Recipezaar, (if they've been smart!!) What a great snack these are, with so many easy variations!! Addictive!!!! Marianna U. Kretschmer
