Brittle Bar....Tis the Season of Baking....Get Started!

I love this time of year!  It's chilly outside, the Christmas Tree is up and decorated, the house is just about finished, and I want to start baking Christmas Cookies!  I have this great recipe for Brittle Bar, it's delicious, and EASY.  I love easy recipes, hey I'm busy, and I need all the help I can get.  My friend Kim gave me this recipe about 2 years ago, she made it for a church function, and I had to ask for the recipe.  It's made with.....are you ready....Saltine Crackers!  Yes, Saltine Crackers, so if you like sweet and salty, this is perfect for you!  You can bag them in those pretty treat bags, and give them away as gifts.  I know everyone loves receiving delicious treats as gifts this time of year,  or just let your family enjoy them.  I usually give one recipe away, and make an extra for my family!  Try this recipe, you will love it!
