Caramelized crackers with chocolate

Like 5 million other bloggers, I had to try this recipe. I took I didn't really think it through--now the two of us have the equivalent of 2 sticks of butter and a cup of sugar just sitting around in crack-cracker form. Too much salty-sweet goodness.


I don't mess around with candy thermometers or recipes that require you do something totally unreasonable like, say, measure. This was easy. I put the crackers in the pan and measured butter and sugar into a pot while the baby snacked in her high chair and did the boiling/baking step after her bedtime while W. shook a couple cocktails.

I'm eating it now, at 9 am, with coffee, when sugar is most properly ingested.
