pine bark.

I just wanted to take a quick second to tell you about what I've been snacking on for the past couple of days...pine bark. No, not pine bark from a tree :) but this...


Okay so it may not look very good but o.m.g. it is delicious! My mama used to make it a lot when I was growing up so of course I learned how to make it :) It's a very simple and quick recipe and is so addicting for chocoholics like me!


Pine Bark
1 cup brown sugar
2 sticks butter
1 (12 oz.) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips or morsels

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, sides and bottom. Completely cover bottom with one layer of saltines (salty side up). Melt butter in a saucepan, add brown sugar and boil for 3 minutes. Pour sugar mixture over crackers -- spread well to cover all surfaces. Bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes.

Remove from oven and immediately spread on the chocolate chips. Spread evenly with spoon or knife (will melt). Refrigerate for an hour or until chocolate is firm. Peel off foil and break into pieces. Pine bark freezes well.

So if you're craving something chocolatey (like I usually am) this is the perfect recipe!
