In December 2009, The New York Times asked readers to send photos and recipes of their favorite holiday cookies. About 100 people answered the call, and this one, from Kelly Mahoney in Boulder, Col. was one of the 35 recipes chosen for online publication. It's got just five ingredients - Saltines, sugar, butter, vanilla and chocolate chips - and it comes together in about 20 minutes, so you can satisfy those salty-sweet cravings in a snap. It also works with salted matzo.

Yield About 2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 5

48 saltine crackers
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 pound unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan or large cookie sheet with sides with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Arrange the crackers side by side in a single layer on the foil. In a small saucepan, melt the sugar and butter, stirring constantly until they bubble, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla. Pour evenly over the crackers and, using a spatula, spread to cover evenly.
  • Bake immediately. After 7 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the crackers. Return to the top rack of the oven and bake for 2 minutes more. Spread the chocolate evenly over the crackers with a clean spatula. Cool for 20 to 30 minutes before transferring the tray to the freezer. The next day, peel off the foil and break the brickle into pieces. Keep frozen or refrigerated.
