I admit that the failure was probably all on my part, not the recipe so I decided to post it and see if anyone would tell me where I went wrong. I got the recipe from one of my go-to cookbooks that has (I thought) foolproof yummy recipes. I got about a dozen good little "skor" bars and the rest ended up like this:
Not so good.It may have been the fact that I used "I can't believe it's not butter" sticks. I maybe didn't time it all right, but I thought I got it all right. I think it was the vagueness on the cooling time that brought this mess about.
If I had made it right maybe I wouldn't have felt this way, but in the end it seemed like a big waste of butter and chocolate chips.
Because of that I turned them into something else later that afternoon, but that is the story for another recipe post.
Magic Skor Bars
(From Ivory Family "Favorites")
40-48 saltine crackers (1 pack exactly fit my 10x15 pan)
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips (or less)
1 cup finely chopped pecans (or less)
Line large cookie sheet with saltine crackers. Boil together butter and brown sugar for 4 minutes. Pour butter mixture over crackers. Bake at 350 degrees fro 4 minutes. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake for an additional minute, then spread chocolate evenly on top. Sprinkle with finely chopped pecans. Cool a little, but not too much (this vagueness may have been my downfall) before taking out of the cookie sheet.
