CHOCOLATE SALTED SODA CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Completely cover a baking sheet with salted soda crackers.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter and sugar. Pour melted mixture over the salted soda crackers, try to cover all of them. Bake crackers in 350 degree F. oven for exactly 10 minutes. Remove from oven after 10 minutes and pour chocolate chips over the crackers immediately. Let sit about 5 minutes, until chips have softened. Spread the softened chips completely over the crackers and sprinkle with whatever topping you like. Place in refrigerator until cool. Break into pieces and enjoy.

HOMEMADE SODA CRACKERS

Steps:

• Try Chuck's homemade soda crackers and you'll never go back to the store-bought ones.
• In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water; stir to dissolve and let stand for 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and baking soda. Add the yeast mixture and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon to blend. If the dough is sticky, add sprinkles of flour until a soft dough forms.
• Knead the dough until it is soft and has an elastic consistency, about 5 minutes. Add sprinkles of flour to control the stickiness. If using a mixer or a food processor, the dough will form a soft ball around the revolving dough hook and clean the sides of the bowl. Add flour, if necessary, to firm up the dough.
• Drop the dough into a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to rest for at least 1 hour and up to 18 hours (the longer the better.)
• Arrange the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• With a heavy rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle about 18 by 6 inches and no thicker than 1/8-inch. Fold the dough from the short ends, brushing off the excess flour, to make 3 layers for extra flaky crackers. Roll again using the rolling pin.
• Prick the dough with the tines of a fork to help cook evenly. Evenly cut the dough along the edge of a ruler or yardstick with a pizza or cookie cutter into desired shapes.
• Place the crackers close together on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt from 12-inches above the crackers to distribute evenly.
• Bake until lightly browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the crackers. Check the crackers several times during the baking period to make certain those on the outer edge of the baking sheet are not getting too brown. If so, switch the ones on the outside with the ones in the middle.
• Remove from the oven and brush the crackers with melted butter. Let cool on a metal rack.

OLD-FASHIONED SO. GEORGIA CRACKER SALAD (EXTREMELY EASY)

Steps:

• Pour tomatoes (including juice) in a large boil. Using your hands, squeeze each tomatoe through your fingers (be careful you don't squirt the juice on you -- I poke each one good with my fingers gently before I commence squeezing) until they look crushed but still chunky. Yes, you can buy already crushed tomatoes but I don't like their texture -- almost like a sauce instead of crushed tomatoes.
• To the tomatoes, add remaining ingredients and stir. If appears to dry for you, add a LITTLE more mayo.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Tastes just as great either fresh made or after refrigerated.

CRANBERRIES, CRACKERS, AND CREAM (YIFTA)

Steps:

• Combine water and 1 1/4-2 cups of sugar depending on taste in a saucepan and heat until sugar dissolves. Add cranberries and cook until cranberries split. Set aside to cool.
• Whip the cream and 2 tablespoons of sugar until it turns into whipped cream.
• Using a glass bowl, put a layer of cranberries in the bottom of bowl. Layer soda crackers to cover well over the cranberries, then a layer of whipped cream. Start over with cranberries, crackers and cream until bowl is full, ending with the cream. A little spoon of cranberries on the top looks nice.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
