Pine Bark

This is one of my family and friends' favorite treats during Christmas. I got the recipe from Paula Deen many years ago, and i thought I'd share it with you.

35 saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract
5 (4 oz) hershey bars, broken in pieces
Line a jelly roll pan with foil. Lightly spray with non stick cooking spray. Place crackers, salty side up, in pan. In a saucepan, boil butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in almond extract. Pour mixture over crackers and bake at 400 degrees for 4-6 minutes. Remove from oven, top with candy bars, and spread evenly as chocolate begins to melt. Cool completely in fridge. Break into pieces and enjoy.
