One of the best candies I have ever eaten and easy to make, too!

I am constantly amazed at the reaction I get whenever I make this candy - EVERYONE loves it! It is so fun to see the reactions from people when they realize it is made from regular saltine crackers. It is quick, it is easy, and you will be a rock star. I make it exactly as written.

Awesome! I used Gram Crackers because that is what I had. Used brown sugar instead of white as per other reviews. They were delicious! I could of eaten the whole pan myself!

i made this with my little girl and used the last of the almond bark i had melted for dipping pretzels. these were good. i think the almond bark worked as well as chocolate chips do. my husband had managed to resist every kind of candy i made except this one. he kept picking at the little bits that broke off when i broke it into pieces. mine came out a little greasy. since its the first time ive made this im assuming its my error and not the recipes.

My sister makes his candy alot, her family really enjoys it. Tastes much like the "Almond Roca" we grew up eating. As one reviewer noted she lined the cookie sheet, which is what I did. Can't imagine cleaning that pan afterwards. Folded the foil just to fit the crackers which kept the sugar mixture right on the crackers, less run off. My crackers were floating in the sugar mixture We liked the milk chocolate chips better than the bittersweet. Again, as one reviewer noted, I had to put the pan back in the oven to melt the chocolate chips, then spread them somewhat evenly over the candy. Much easier and cleaner, for your hand, to break up if you put in freezer for abut 30 minutes

I have made this candy for years and I use light brown sugar. The recipe is called Soda Cracker Candy. I clipped it out of a newspaper some 20 yrs. or more ago and it was put in by an elderly lady who said she did not want the recipe to die with her so she sent it into the newspaper to be printed. Have loved it ever since.

tastes great, but do not try to do with graham crackers...it just didn't do as well as saltines, even with adding just a little more salt in the sugar mixture. I did the whole boil for 3 minutes (soft boil stage) and I found my chocolate layer was coming away from the crackers - all problems I did not have with the saltines! If anyone has an explanation, please let me know!

loved this candy but the waxed paper stuck to the candy and I couldn't get if off lots of the pieces...couldn't give away with waxed paper stuck. I am going to try and line pan with foil next time.

This was really weird. Had the ingredients on hand and thought it was worth a shot- The kids wouldn't even eat it. Giving it two stars because as far as I could tell, it did come out like it was supposed to.
