CHOCOLATE CRACK!

Well it's been quite a while since my last post and I couldn't think of a better way to start back than with this recipe.  This most deliciously evil goodness I have had in a long time.  A nice neighbor (or possibly evil for introducing this to me) gave me these sweet, crunchy treats and then the recipe after I couldn't stop talking about it.   How did I not know about these?!?  How have they not appeared on my Pinterest wall??

Anyway, I had a good reason to make them...it's my dad's birthday.  So I made a batch of them, sent him a bunch, and kept some for me.  Ok more than some.  More than I gave him :).  

Oh - did I mention this is the easiest dessert EVER?  Take a look below...you almost don't even need a recipe.  I of course eyeballed everything and they turned out perfect.  Here's my take on chocolate crack:

Layer a cookie sheet with regular ole' honey graham crackers.  I used wax paper for lining.

Boil up some butter (ok lots of butter) and brown sugar for 5 minutes.  The recipe called for 2 sticks of butter and 1 cup of brown sugar.  However I only had one stick of butter so I made do and it turned out great.  I dumped some brown sugar in there, boiled 5 minutes, and tada, caramel toffee brown goodness..

Pour the mixture over the graham crackers and put in a preheated 300 degree oven for 10 minutes.

Straight out of the oven I poured almost one bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the graham crackers.  Let it sit a moment then spread even.

Throw it in the fridge for a little while to cool and harden (I put mine in the freezer to speed up the process.  What can I say it's that good).

Since it's almost Valentine's Day I brought out the pretty heart plate a good college friend gave my husband and I for our wedding.  Not that I plan on sharing with him :)

So it's good to be back.  I hope to share many more recipes, stories, ideas, and hear yours too.  As we are trying to get our house in order to put on the market I am sure there will be lots of good stuff to post.  Seeing as how we don't know a single thing about fixing anything...and I mean that.  Just wait and you will see :)

Here's the recipe for chocolate crack:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Ingredients:

- As many graham crackers as you can fit on a cookie sheet

- 1 stick of butter

- 1/2 cup of brown sugar

- 16 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Place the graham crackers on the cookie sheet.  Boil the butter & brown sugar for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.  Pour the mixture over the crackers.  Bake for 10 minutes.  Pour the chocolate chips over the crackers as soon as you take it out of the oven.  Spread evenly.  Refrigerate.

Until later take care!
