How to Make Christmas Crack

Step 1 – Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil, then lightly coat with non-stick spray. Arrange the saltines in a single layer, covering the entire pan.

Step 2 – In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often. You can even melt in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl.

Step 3 – Quickly pour the toffee mixture over the crackers, spreading evenly to coat. Bake for 5 minutes.

Step 4 – Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then spread evenly once softened with a spatula. Sprinkle with your favorite toppings while the chocolate is still warm.

Step 5 – Refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until firm. Peel off the foil and break into pieces before serving.

Variations Ideas

• Peppermint Bark Crack – Add crushed candy canes on top for a minty taste.
• Peanut Butter Twist – Drizzle with melted peanut butter before the chocolate sets for a delicious variation. We have even drizzled caramel for another delicious addition.
• Nutty Delight – Top with chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts.
• Graham Cracker Version – Swap saltines for graham crackers for a sweeter base.
