How many ways can one mix crackers or cookies with brown sugar and butter and all the sprinkles to make more snacky sweets?  I don’t know because I’m not there yet.  

These are ULTRA sweet!  But go all out with your pink and red for your Valentine with these.  You (and your Valentine) won’t be able to stop eating them.  

Nilla Wafers are the base here which is a different change from the saltines.  And I LOVE it.

Ingredients:

• Nilla Wafers
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• Melting chocolate (pink, red, or a combo)
• White chocolate chips
• Valentine sprinkles

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper.  Place Nilla Wafers in a single layer on the bottom to fill the pan.

Melt butter and brown sugar on the stove in a small sauce pan.  Let it slowly boil for 6 minutes.  Pour over the cookies.  Bake for 6 minutes.

While baking, melt your melting chocolate.  Remove the pan from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before pouring the melting chocolate over.  Use an offset spatula to spread evenly and gently.  Top with white chocolate chips and sprinkles.
