Gift recipe collection

This recipe was made by a neighbor and given to me. He told me to try it and then he would tell me what it was made with. I tried it, loved it, and asked him for the recipe. He went and got it and now i make it all the time. Who knew Saltine crackers and chocolate went so well together!! I would recommend it to anyone. I get people at work who tell me to bring it in all the time. It is loved by everyone who makes it.
