    This reminded me of a nighttime treat my mom used to make when I was a kid (a few decades ago).
    Saltines, smear of peanut butter and 5 mini marshmallows on each one, toasted in the oven for less than a minute (low broil until marshmallows are browned).
    Makes for an easy, gooey, salty, slightly sweet snack.
    I made some tonight for the first time in ages.
    Thanks for the memories! 😊

You can also garnish your crackers with the bacon and pecans right after you pour your brown sugar onto the Saltines. It's really a matter of preference. We add ours into the mixture so that it's coated and stays in place better once dried.

We always went in summer because my family's FAVORITE candy from See's (aside from their California Crunch, which is a close second for us,) is their seasonal "Summertime" chocolates! OMG, they are the BEST! Have you had them?!? If not, you simply MUST try them next time you get a chance! I can eat a whole pound of them to myself, no joke. Haha!

    Every Year Christmas baking is a hit in our house, seen this video and added it to our baking list since it look fast and easy. WOW! This was a HUGE hit.... I’ve never had this either🤣 I decided to mix both the salt and pecans since I couldn’t decide... it was a sweet, salty, nutty mix and ohhh sooo good! Thank You Emmy for an easy follow recipe and sharing your lovely self with all of us... Merry Christmas!

    For those who make this: substitute club crackers for the saltine. They're buttery and layer better.

      @@chanwinsern8814 “Club crackers” are part of the Keebler line of crackers, similar to saltines, but made with butter or some other solid fat. Marketed as a "Light, Flaky, Buttery" snack, they are pretty hefty in terms of calories, but a delicious addition to a simple meal of crackers and cheese with raw veggies or used to make meatloaf or as a crumb coating for meat or fish.
