Christmas Crack Recipe
This Christmas Crack Recipe blends crunchy saltine crackers with buttery toffee and melted chocolate for a sweet and salty holiday treat.
Ingredients
Main
- 40 pieces saltine crackers to cover a 10×15-inch baking sheet
- 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Toppings
- 0.5 cup crushed peppermint candy optional
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a rimmed 10×15-inch baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Arrange crackers in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
- Place butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and melt over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Bring to a gentle boil and boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Immediately pour the butter-sugar mixture over crackers and spread with an offset spatula to cover all crackers.
- Bake for 5 minutes, until the mixture is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Let sit for 2 minutes to soften, then spread chocolate evenly over toffee.
- Sprinkle with optional toppings.
- Chill until set, about 30 minutes. Break into pieces and serve.
Notes
Allow the toffee to bubble a full 3 minutes for best snap.
Chill completely before breaking for clean edges.
Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
