Pine Bark

35 saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract
5 (4 ounce) milk chocolate bars, broken into pieces
(Bonnie suggest Symphony almond toffee bar)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Line a 15 by 10 by 1 inch jelly roll pan with tin foil.  Lightly spray foil with a nonstick cooking spray.

Place saltine crackers, salty side up, in prepared 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 for 4 to 6 minutes.  Remove from oven, top with candy bars, and spread evenly as chocolate begins to melt.  Cool slightly and transfer onto waxed paper.  Allow to cool completely.

Can embellish with crushed peppermint candy, and melted white chocolate for a spectacular presentation!
