Description
Christmas Crack is a quick, 5-minute ultimate easy delicious snack that blends buttery toffee, crispy saltines, and chocolate into a festive treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 40 saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Holiday sprinkles or crushed candy canes (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
- Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture over the saltines and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 5 minutes, until the toffee is bubbling. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the top.
- Let sit for 2 minutes, then spread the melted chocolate evenly with a spatula.
- Add sprinkles or crushed candy canes while the chocolate is still warm.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours, or until firm. Break into pieces and enjoy!
Notes
- Line the pan with parchment paper or foil for easy removal and clean edges.
- Chill until firm for clean breaks and tidy pieces.
- You can extend or shorten the toffee boil time to adjust thickness and flavor; just watch closely to avoid burning.
- Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Try using dark chocolate or white chocolate for a different twist, and experiment with toppings like crushed peppermint or chopped nuts.
