Christmas crack

Preheat oven to 350°.

In small saucepan, bring butter and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Meanwhile, line a 15x10x1" baking pan with heavy duty aluminum foil. Place crackers salt side down in foil.

Pour butter and sugar mixture over crackers and bake 8 minutes.

Sprinkle with chocolate chips and bake 5 minutes longer or until chocolate chips begin to soften. With metal spatula, smooth chocolate chips over top. ***The chips will not melt, just get warm and gooey. They will be soft enough to spread over the cracker base.***

Melt white chocolate and shortening. Drizzle over chocolate.

Chill 20 minutes and break into pieces.
