"Plain fresh bread, its crust shatteringly crisp. Sweet cold butter. There is magic in the way they come together in your mouth to make a single perfect bite."--Ruth Reichl

Ingredients:  
Cooking spray
35 to 40 saltine crackers
2 sticks (1 cup) butter
1 cup light brown sugar
8 oz semisweet chocolate chips (about 1⅓ cups)
(can use peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips...whatever you would like!)
1 pkg red and green, plain M&M's-crushed.
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Line 1 large or 2 small jelly-roll pans with aluminum foil, spray with nonstick spray and arrange the saltines salt-side down in a single layer. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together and boil for 3 minutes (until it turns a caramel color). Remove from the heat and pour over the crackers, covering them evenly.

Put the jelly-roll pan into the oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until just bubbly, watching carefully. Remove from the oven and pour the chocolate chips over the crackers. Place back in the oven for 5 more minutes. (You may also pre-melt chocolate in a double boiler to ensure the chocolate melts nicely). Spread melted chocolate over the crackers with a knife. Sprinkle crushed M&M's over the top.

Transfer the pan to the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until completely cold. They will form one big sheet. Break up into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
