 Saltine Cracker Candy
 40 salted saltine crackers (or enough to line your pan)
 1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
 2 cups milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips
(optional) 3/4 cup chopped pecans
 Preheat oven to 400. Line a 9x13-inch pan with aluminum foil. Line pan with saltine crackers in a single layer. In a small pot combine sugar and butter. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for 3 minutes. Mixture should be a deep caramel color. Immediately pour over saltines and spread to cover crackers completely. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Place back in oven for 1 minute. Remove from oven and spread melted chocolate chips over crackers. Top with chopped nuts. Allow to cool and break into pieces. Than I took some puff pastry & parmasan cheese & did this! I can't color my hair?? They say it's too hard on it?? LOOK at all that grey!!! I found out some stuff on Friday about the surgery & I'm not really happy about it :( They said it was discussed in Chapel Hill?? Both my Mom & I don't remember it?? I have 2 CT scans with contrast on Friday morning. Ughhhhhh have to drink some white stuff tomorrow night than another at 6am, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww than they might make me drink more there??!!!!!!!!!!! Hope not!!
