Candy Recipe Using Soda Crackers
I once tried these incredible cookies. They were made with soda crackers, the soda crackers were place on cookie sheet as one layer, then they took something and poured it over the crackers. I think it went in oven, then once out of oven they put a bag of chocolate chips on it and spread. They were so good. Does any one have the recipe? I would really love to try to it.
Thank you in advance,

My pear tree is full this year and I'm wondering what to do with all of them. Last year we gave so many away that not everyone could eat all of them and some went to waste. Can I can them and how do I do this?
