BTW....if you're ambitious you could drizzle some melted chocolate over all...then cool.

I forgot about this recipe. Thanks for the reminder. My grandmother always made these at Christmas. Some people say you can sub saltines for the graham crackers. Never tried that.

I make a version with saltines:

Arrange saltines on a cookie sheet lined with foil, covering entire sheet. Melt sugar with butter; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for three minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over crackers and spread with an offset spatula to cover all. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Let stand for 2 minutes.
