Saltine Bark

 How have I never made this addictive recipe? I know a friend that makes it regularly and one of my relatives really likes it so I gave it a try and didn't disappoint. Hard to stop eating this. I kind of bunched up the almonds on one side since said relative said he didn't like them then proceeded to change his mind.

 

NOTE: I  toasted the almonds first.

Almond Saltine Bark
35 Saltine crackers (less than one sleeve), unsalted if butter is salted
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 to 2 cups chocolate chips, milk or semi sweet 
Almonds

Line cookie sheet with foil. Layer saltines in single layer. 
Boil sugar and butter for 5 minutes stirring constantly to avoid scorching. Pour 
mixture over crackers. Bake in 375F oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle 
with chocolate chips. When they are shiny spread with a knife. 
Cool and break into pieces. Keep in Refrigerator.

Tiger Butter

 This simple, quick candy recipe is perfect for around the holidays. I think it is gluten free also, which makes an nice option besides peanut brittle as a gift. It's a softer candy so it can be cut quite nicely into squares.

Tiger Butter

3 cups white chocolate melting chips
Melt and add 1 cup of smooth peanut butter then spread on cookie sheet lined with parchment
Melt one cup of semi-sweet chocolate, drop in spoonfuls and then swirl with a knife.
 
I added some mini Reece's pieces. I would press them down slightly into the base. Chill.
Will freeze (but I've never had to)
