Wasa Crackers-Multi Grain or crackers of choice

Directions:
  • In small kettle, bring strawberries, dates and water to slow boil, stirring constantly
  • Cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, let filling cool down.
  • Spread filling on Crackers
  • Put crackers on a baking sheet.
  • Cover with chocolate chips of choice.
  • Bake in 350 degree oven for 10 minutes until chips are melted.
  • Remove from oven.
  • Spread melted chips over the top with a knife.

Comments from Verna's Test Kitchen:

The original recipe used lightly salted rice cakes. I did that with some of the filling. After chips where melted and I spread out the chocolate, I cut the rice cakes in quarters for easier eating.

Enjoy!!!
