Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Christmas Crack, also known as Saltine Toffee. It’s a sweet and salty treat that’s perfect for the holidays!
Christmas Crack Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 sleeve of Saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, crushed candy canes, or sprinkles
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet (15×10 inch) with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and lightly spray with cooking spray.
2. Arrange the Crackers:
- Place the Saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, covering the entire surface.
3. Make the Toffee:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and let it boil for about 3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
4. Pour the Toffee:
- Carefully pour the butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the crackers, spreading it to cover as much of the crackers as possible.
5. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, until the toffee is bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
6. Add Chocolate:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a couple of minutes to melt, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top.
7. Add Toppings:
- If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts, crushed candy canes, or sprinkles over the melted chocolate.
8. Cool:
- Let the Christmas Crack cool at room temperature for about 1-2 hours until the chocolate is set. You can also place it in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
9. Break into Pieces:
- Once cooled and set, break the Christmas Crack into pieces and enjoy!
Enjoy!
This Christmas Crack is a delightful mix of sweet and salty flavors, making it a perfect holiday treat to share with friends and family!
