Simple Pleasures...


It is a rather chilly, dreary Sunday, and I feel like sharing....
(Oops, sorry, the box of Ritz crackers is backwards...)

More often than not, baking a deep, dark chocolate cake and slathering it with buttercream frosting or chocolate ganache isn't quite fitting for single unit consumption, and as such, I have on occasion devised quick and simple solutions to fill the void where that chocolate cake should be. This one is extremely easy, with just three ingredients. (Hmm... I was jus thinking...it is actually a crude version of a Nanaimo Bar.) Don't laugh before you try it.

100% Whole GRAIN Ritz Crackers (NO substitutions)
Becel (the one with olive oil) (Butter would be better, but...)
Lindt Chili Dark Chocolate (or Sea Salt Dark Chocolate)
   
Yup, that's it. No nuking, stirring or baking. Dab or slather the Becel on the cracker, top with piece of dark chocolate and nibble or munch away as your heart desires. This simple snack should satisfy both sweet and salty sides, however, it is just as much about texture as it is taste. If you try it out, let me know what you think...feedback please... (feedback... heh.)  Someone must have tried this combo before.
