Christmas Crack Recipe
This sweet and salty Christmas crack recipe is a simple take on classic toffee with only 4 ingredients and 15 minutes to assemble!
Servings: 40 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve saltine crackers, about 35-40 crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Line a 10x15-inch pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease.
- Place the saltine crackers on the cookie sheet to cover the entire pan in 1 layer of crackers.
- Melt the butter and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, bring it to a boil for 3 minutes while stirring constantly. The brown sugar mixture must boil for exactly 3 minutes. If it doesn't boil long enough the mixture won’t set and will make the crackers soggy.
- While stirring the mixture, consistently scrape the sides otherwise the sugar will crystallize on the sides of the pan.
- Carefully pour the mixture over the crackers. Spread it overtop so that all of the crackers are covered.
- Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the chocolate to a medium heatproof bowl. Microwave on medium power for 1-minute bursts, stirring between each. When the chocolate is almost melted, stir until smooth.
- Spoon the chocolate over the crackers, and spread it smooth completely coverving the pan. Decorate with sprinkles.
- Let the toffee harden until the chocolate is set at room temperature or in the fridge.
- Once completely hardened, remove from the pan and peel the aluminum foil off. Break/"crack" it into pieces.
