Salty Sweet-Ness

Creative Baker's Note:

The mixture of salty from the saltines, and the sweetness from the milk chocolate, is the perfect combo. My friends and family love eating these for dessert, or just in their lunches. They're big hits at dinner parties of all casual-ness.

• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

5. Remove from the oven, now is when you top with the chocolate bars, spread them evenly. They will begin to melt.

Made for PAC, Spring 2007 ~ HOW GREAT, & HOW DIFFERENT, at least it was for most of those who ate them [I love dipping salty pretzels in chocolate, anyway, so....]! These are great additions to a finger food buffet & are easy-to-make! Thanks for the recipe!
