Made as written one time.

Loved the taste of it but it did not come out as expected. The crackers stuck to the foil (which had been buttered), they did not break apart but had to be torn apart, and then the choclate and nuts fell off the top.

I used 1 package (8-oz.) toffee bits instead. I'd also heated 3\/4 cup creamy peanut butter which I'd spread over the butter and brown sugar mixture after baking 8 to 10 minutes.I did line the 15x10x1\" baking sheet with heavy-duty foil and then arranged the 35 saltine crackers on the greased foil before pouring the butter-brown sugar mixture over crackers to bake. I sprinkled the peanut butter layer with the semi-sweet chocolate chips and placed back in oven to melt 5 minutes, then I spread the chips with a flat metal spatula.I COVERED the pan of candy and placed in refrigerator to set. I'm keeping the candy in my refrigerator all day to really allow the candy to firm up before breaking in pieces! This is a wonderful holiday recipe!
