Totally fattening, but good for a treat on rare occasion! This is the perfect mixture of a salty/sweet snack that we love!

NEEDED

1 sleeve of saltine crackers
2 sticks of salted butter
1 cup of packed brown sugar
12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 oz bag of Reeces Peanut Butter Chips

TO MAKE

Line a jelly roll with foil, placing a layer of saltines on it too. In the microwave, melt butter and brown sugar for 1 minutes. Stir until creamy/smooth. Pour onto cracker crust. Bake in oven for 15 mnutes on 350 degrees. When pulled from oven, immediately pour both bags of chips on top, evenly. Wait 5 minutes then spread to coat evenly. Let cool 30 minutes on stove-top, then place in freezer for 30 minutes. Break into 30 portions, about 2x3 long. Enjoy with a glass of milk or cup of coffee
