Christmas Crack Recipe

The best thing about this easy Christmas crack recipe is you likely have all of the ingredients in your pantry or fridge. Furthermore, all items can be found at a local grocery store!

Ingredients to Make Christmas Crack

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 40 to 50 saltine crackers
• 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (I do half and half)
• Sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions to Make Christmas Crack

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with tin foil, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
2. Layer the Saltine Crackers: Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they fit snugly together.
3. Prepare the Toffee Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, stirring continuously until the mixture reaches a smooth and caramel-like consistency. When it reaches a boil, let it boil for 3 minutes.
4. Evenly Coat the Crackers: Pour the toffee mixture over the crackers, ensuring an even coating. Use a spatula to spread the toffee, covering each cracker thoroughly.
5. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes. The toffee will become bubbly and golden brown.
6. Melt the Chocolate: Once the toffee-covered crackers are out of the oven, sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot surface. Allow the heat to melt the chocolate for a few minutes.
7. Spread the Chocolate: Use a spatula or long knife to spread the melted chocolate evenly across the toffee-coated crackers, creating a luscious chocolate layer.
8. Add the Finishing Touch: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle sea salt over the top, adding that perfect touch of savory goodness.
9. Chill and Break Into Pieces: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least two hours or until the chocolate has set completely. Once set, break the Christmas Crack into bite-sized pieces.
