Fabulous Crackers ~ Gluten Free Desert

Fabulous Crackers are a magical combination of peanut brittle, caramel, cookies, butterscotch and chocolate!

First you steal all of your child's candy.
Then you lock yourself into your kitchen and turn on the stove.
Melt butter and sugar together until you have a rich caramel sauce.
Spread sauce over gluten free crackers.
Bake in Oven.
Take out.
Chop up candy.
Place candy on crackers.
Place in oven.
Melt.
Take out and Refrigerate.
EAT AND EAT UNTIL YOU ARE GORGED WITH DELICIOUSNESS!
Here is the *ahem* real recipe:

Bob's Fabulous Crackers 
1 recipe of Gluten Free Crackers (recipe below)
2 sticks of Butter
1 cup Brown sugar
Lots of chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate, and any candy bar you can get your hands on crushed into bite sized pieces.

Butter a large cookie sheet and arrange crackers on it so they are packed tightly together. Melt butter and brown sugar on medium heat until golden and syrupy. Spread this caramel sauce over the crackers and put crackers in the oven at 350 degrees for 4 min. Take out after the caramel begins to bubble. (This step allows the caramel to seep into the crackers) Next sprinkle a liberal amount of chocolate chips and chopped candy bars over the top. Put back in oven for another 3-4 min. Take out of the oven and squish the chocolate/candy layer with a spoon. Freeze for 15 min and then eat.

Gluten Free Crackers:
Note: These crackers are best eaten within the first two days of making them.
2 cups Key Gluten Free Flour (recipe below)
1 tbls. baking powder
1tsp. salt
1/3 cup butter
2/3 cup almond milk (or other milk of preference)
Mix together dry ingredients and then cut in butter with a fork. The butter should be in pea sized pieces and evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture. Next add milk gradually, stirring until it is completely incorporated in the flour. Lastly roll out as thinly as possible on parchment paper and bake for 8-12 min. at 450 degrees Farenheit until crispy.
