Suddenly Ravenous - Barn Board

I assure you, this sweet treat is tastier than the name suggests. And the best part is, it’s simple, easy and you probably already have all the ingredients on hand.

Trust me when I say that you won’t regret making this! Special thanks to my friend for introducing this recipe to me!

For this treat you’ll need:

• 1 sleeve graham crackers (plus a few more crackers if any are broken)

• 1 cup butter (NOT margarine)

• 1 cup packed brown sugar

• ½ teaspoon vanilla

• 2 cups chocolate chips


o1. Preheat oven at 350
o Celcius.

o2. Line a cookie sheet with tin foil (makes clean up a breeze!), lay crackers until the sheet is completely covered, end to end.
o3. In a sauce pan melt the butter, brown sugar and vanilla.

o4. Bring the mixture to a boil and then allow to fully boil for 2 minutes (don’t allow to boil for much longer than the 2 minutes as the caramel will continue to cook in the oven).

o5. Pour and spread the mixture evenly over the crackers.

o6. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

o7. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top.

o8. Wait a few minutes for the chips to melt then use an offset spatula to spread it evenly.

o9. Now place the cookie sheet into the freezer for about 2 hours to set. I know, the hardest part is the waiting. But it is worth it, I promise.

1o. Once you take the pan out of the freezer, let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting or breaking to allow the caramel to relax.

I prefer to eat these cold. With a glass of milk. Enjoy!
