Don't Arrest Me!

The name of this candy-cookie recipe is a little startling at first.  It's called Chocolate Crack, from Joanne Fluke's Apple Turnover Murder.  (Check out her website here.)  This is NOT a drug!  It's called "crack" because you have to crack the sheet of candy-cookies to make smaller, easier-to-eat pieces. But... you may become addicted to this if you're a toffee-lover! :D

Chocolate Crack
REQUIRES CHILLING TIME

1 box graham crackers
2 sticks SALTED butter, cubed
1 cup brown sugar
12-oz. bag semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F., rack in the middle position.
2. Line 10x15-inch jellyroll pan with heavy-duty foil.  Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Line pan completely with single layer of graham crackers.  Be sure to cover the whole bottom.
4. Melt butter in saucepan.  Add brown sugar and combine.  Bring to full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.  Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.  Then pour hot toffee mixture over graham crackers, covering the layer as evenly as you can.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 10 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over toffee.  Wait two minute and then spread chocolate chips out with a heat-resistant spatula, wooden spoon, or frosting knife.  (Spatulas work best!)
7. Chill in refrigerator until fully hardened.
8. Peel foil from cookies and break (or "crack") into random-sized pieces.

Now, before we break it down, here's a warning: I made two batches of these.  So no, this isn't what yours should look like unless you plan on making two batches.  Here we go:

Line foil-lined pan with graham crackers...

(copy the layout of the graham crackers above - it worked!)  Note: if you're making a double batch, you'll end up using the whole box instead of half a box.  Combine brown sugar and butter in saucepan...

Boil for 5 minutes.  Pour over graham cracker layer... (sorry, you'll have to twist sideways)

Bake for 10 minutes.  Sprinkle with chocolate chips...

Wait two minutes and spread...

Chill.  Crack into random-sized pieces... and you're done! :)

Don't get too addicted! XD
