*42 crackers is approximately 1/3 of a box

Assembly Directions:

Lightly butter a 9 x 13 inch pan. Place one layer of whole Club crackers in pan. Melt butter in microwave, add white sugar, brown sugar, graham crackers, and milk. Cook 5 minutes on high, stirring 2-3 times. Pour over layer of crackers and spread. Add another layer of crackers. Combine peanut butter, chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips. Melt in microwave about 2 minutes on high. When melted, stir and pour over crackers. Sprinkle with nuts if desired. May also use butterscotch chips instead of peanut butter chips. Tastes like TWIX® candy bars!

 

Freezing Directions:

Cool before cutting into bars. Place each bar in a fold top sandwich bag.  Place in a freezer container or gallon freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:

Thaw and enjoy!

Comments:

Nanci’s Note: My kids really liked these. We think they taste best from the freezer (less sticky). A little goes a long way with these bars so I cut them small and put them in cheap fold top baggies. Then I put all of the baggies into a large freezer container or gallon size freezer bag. The kids keep the baggie on to hold the bar (not because they don’t want to get the sticky stuff all over their fingers but because they are very lazy and don’t want to get up and wash their hands afterwardJ)
