Let me tell you… Growing up we didn’t have a lot of sweets in our home. The only times we had candy was on special occasions or birthday parties. I remember often looking for coins around my house so I could use them to go to the store and buy myself candy. I seriously lost count of how many times I hid the sweets afraid that my brother would eat them or even worse that my mom would find my stash and ask me where I got the money from. Sometimes I hid the candy so well that I couldn’t find it for weeks. I remember one time when my mom was cleaning my closet and found one of my precious candy stashes under my shirts, covered by a mountain of ants. Oh my! When I saw her face I almost peed my pants… She was so mad at me for stealing the money and for welcoming in my closet the entire Spaniard Community of Ants. Now I look back and I laugh… Good memories and good times!

Ingredients

2 c. milk chocolate chips
2 tbs. shortening or vegetable oil
½ c. chopped butterfingers or your favorite candy bar
Saltine crackers

Instructions

Cut a large piece of wax paper and place it on top of a baking sheet.
Unwrap and chop the butterfingers in small pieces. Put aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl mix 1 cup chocolate chips and 1-tablespoon shortening. Melt in the microwave in intervals of 10 seconds, stirring in between to avoid overcooking.
Use a knife to spread chocolate on top of wax paper. You want this layer to be ¼ inch thick.
For the second layer line saltine crackers on top of the melted chocolate.
Melt the remaining chocolate and shortening. Spread on top of the saltine crackers, the same way you did the first layer.
Top with chopped butterfingers or your favorite candy bar.
Put in the fridge for 30 minutes or until chocolate has hardened.
Cut in pieces and enjoy!
