EASY 10-MINUTE GRAHAM BRITTLE
I discovered this recipe this Christmas and have gotten rave reviews from everyone who has tried it. A whole baking sheet of this stuff seems like a lot but I guarantee you it will disappear! The brown sugar an butter combine to make an almost caramel-like taste. It's super easy and takes less than 10 minutes to make. Toppings are optional as this also tasted delicious plain. * for a lower fat version, use low-fat graham crackers and light margarine

Steps:
- First, preheat the oven to 350.
- Then place graham crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet. Line them up so that they're touching on all sides, like a grid. (Make sure the baking sheet has sides on it.).
- Bring brown sugar and butter to a boil in a saucepan.
- Pour the brown sugar and butter mixture evenly over the graham crackers, coating each one evenly.
- Put the baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and evenly sprinkle the milk chocolate chips on top of the graham crackers. Let them melt for 30 sec-1 minute. Then spread them around to coat the graham crackers with chocolate.
- Sprinkle on your desired topping or leave it plain! Crushed cereal not only tastes amazing but also uses up the crumbs in the bottom of the bag :).
- Chill in the refrigerator until chocolate has hardened. To save time, you can also pop it in the freezer.
- To serve, use your muscles and a metal flipper or pizza cutter to break it up into pieces.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Place the crackers on the foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer, so they overlap like shingles. Melt the butter with brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and boil for 3 minutes. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the crackers.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; remove from oven, and sprinkle crackers with chocolate chips.
- Let stand about 2 minutes, until the chips are melted, and spread them over the crackers with a spreader or kitchen knife. Sprinkle with nuts, if desired. Allow to cool completely, about 1 hour; break into chunks, and store in airtight sealed container.

Tips:
- Make sure the graham crackers are finely crushed before mixing them with the other ingredients. This will help the brittle to set properly, and it will also prevent the graham crackers from becoming too chewy.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan for melting the butter and sugar. This will help to prevent the mixture from burning.
- Stir the mixture constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent the butter and sugar from separating.
- Once the mixture has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the graham crackers and nuts. Work quickly, as the mixture will start to set almost immediately.
- Pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Allow the brittle to cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
