JANICE'S SKOR BARS

This picture does not do it justice, but I was very happy to make this recipe without worrying about throwing away a candy wrapper. I have this initial recipe from my neighbour Janice who lived across the street from me when I was growing up. She made them on soda crackers which would be perfect, but I had stale graham crackers.T hey did the trick, although would not have balanced as well, lacking the salt of soda crackers, and did not avoidbeing overly sweet, but there were no complaints from this version.

This is popular at passover with leftover Matzo bread, affectionately known in Jewish circles as Matzo crack!

Mock Skor Bars
Using a baking sheet lined with a silpat or aluminium foil (shiny side down), layer out your crackers to fill 9x13". Or however many have gone stale in your open package.

Preheat oven to 350F.

In saucepan, boil 1 c margarine and 1 c brown sugar until boiling. Remove from heat after 3 minutes. I used butter, and I would expect white sugar would work also. I stirred the butter and brown sugar version with no problems.

Pour over crackers and bake in heated oven for 10 minutes. Pour a scant layer of chocolate chips over and smooth as it melts, about 1/2 cup (some recipes say 1 cup).

Cool and break into smaller pieces.

Try not to eat too many at a time!
