Crazy Cookies!

Crazy Cookies. 

I can only allow myself to make them two or three times a year because they are just so yummy.  They are called cookie crack by a sweet friend of mine because they are so highly addictive.

This is the only evidence that remains from last week's batch. 
And here is the recipe.  It's dangerous, but oh so good!!!

Crazy Cookies:
2 sticks butter (not margarine)
1 sleeve of saltine crackers
1 cup sugar
12 oz. bag mini semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup butterscotch chips
Optional, toffee bits

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with foil.  The cookie sheet needs to have sides.
Spray the foil lined sheet with Pam.
Cover the foil lined sheet with saltines, completely.
Now, melt the butter in a small sauce pan.  Stir in the sugar.  Continue stirring until this comes to a boil.  Boil for exactly 3 minutes, keep stirring the whole time.
Pour the butter/sugar mixture over the crackers and spread evenly.
Put this all into the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
As soon as you pull it out of the oven, sprinkle with the butterscotch chips.  Then sprinkle with the mini chocolate chips.  Give them a couple of minutes of melt and then use the back of a spoon to spread over the crackers.  Sprinkle with toffee bits if you prefer.
Refrigerate until firm.
Break into pieces and store in an airtight container or ziploc bag in the fridge.
Eat some quickly, because once your family and friends taste crazy cookies they go FAST!
