These Skor Bar cookies are so delicious, you'll want to make them often.
German? Nope! Delicious? Yes! Quick? Yes!
That's why they find their way onto our German Christmas Dessert trays. They makes a great addition to Lebkuchen, Pecan Bars that use a quick graham cookie base, and Almond Bars.
Using soda crackers as a base makes for easy and quick preparation. Have leftover soda crackers when you're finished with this recipe? Make a quick and easy flaky pastry dessert called Pineapple Pudding Dessert.
Even though this recipe is quick and easy, it's not one for the kids to make unattended. Boiling the butter and brown sugar can be dangerous and should be done by an adult. However, while you are doing that, the kids can arrange the crackers in the pan and help later with adding the chocolate chips and nuts.
Using semi-sweet chocolate chips and topping them with almonds - makes these Skor bar cookies seem like traditional German baking.
