Great appetizers. Made with either almonds or pecans or your favorite nuts, it is sure to get you some compliments. Kind of sweet, kind of salty fingerfood. I found the recipe in a packet from a company advertising their cookbook. Read more . If everything in the cookbook is this good, I should have ordered the books. Ingredients:
enough club or other crackers to cover the bottom of a 15 x 10 x 1 baking pan. |
1/2 cup butter or margarine |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 cup slivered or sliced almonds or nuts of your choice, but make sure they are chopped, sliced or slivered |
Directions:
1. Cover bottom of pan with foil.
2. Cover with crackers, in a single layer, the bottom of your baking pan.
3. In a sauce pan over medium heat, nelt butter.
4. Add sugar and bring to boil stirring constantly.
5. Boil for 2 minutes.
6. Remove pan from heat and add the vanilla.
7. Pour mixture evenly over the crackers.
8. Sprinkle very lightly with a coarse salt.
9. Sprinkle with the nuts.

14. Footnotes
15. I don't always sprinkle the top of the crackers with coarse salt. It depends on how salty the nuts are.
16. I use roasted and salted nuts with these. It makes a salty sweet cracker.
17. I have used slmonds, pecans. macadamian nuts and peanuts with equally good results.
18. I have often wondered as I make them what would happen if I added garlic and onion salt then the nuts.
19. You could make a sweet cracker or a savory cracker with these.
20. You could also sprinkle the crackers with a pepper seasoning and add some heat to the flavor.
21. I have sprinkled the crackers with crushed cajun trail mix crackers and use that as a topping and that was awesome.
22. I think you are limited only by you own imagination.
