I've made 2 years in a row now, and it's a HUGE hit with everyone. I tried the tip from another reviewer and made it with graham crackers this year. She's right, it's even better tasting. A little heavier though, and I needed to add more chocolate just because the crackers were bigger.

Use Graham crackers instead of Premium Plus, much nicer.

Delicious and soooo easy! Made a few changes - used a mix of white choc and dark chocolate (swirled them gently once melted) and I used chips...I think this made the melting step work a lot better. Oh, and I smashed the candy canes a lot finer than shown in the photo.

the chocolate never melted...so I cooked it longer and it just turned into a hard board!

it was ok, recipe and pictures look much better than the finish product. I think that if I were to make this again I would use a cookie base and take out the sugar layer.

I used white chocolate chips instead, and I had no problems. Very easy, and they softened quickly.

Excellent, excellent. My sister used to make it with graham crackers and almonds and sugar butter mix. Delicious

These taste great but my chocolate never melted it just became soft...if I would have baked it longer it would have overcooked. The next time I would melt the chocolate as directed on the pkg and drizzle over the brown sugar mixture.
