Recipe

Nutty Crackers

o 42 Club Crackers o 1 stick butter o 1/2 cup granulated sugar o 1 teaspoon vanilla o 1 cup slivered almonds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Arrange crackers in rows on pan.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, then add the sugar and bring to a boil. Stir mixture constantly for 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, immediately add vanilla, and pour the still-hot mixture evenly over the crackers. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top (and I patted them down lightly to help them adhere to the crackers). Bake for 10-12 minutes, remove pan from oven, and use a knife to slightly separate the crackers before they set. Let cool and enjoy! (You probably won’t have many leftovers, but if you do, store them in an airtight container.)
