Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sleeve saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange Crackers: Place saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, covering the entire surface.
- Make Toffee: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, then let it boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the toffee evenly over the saltine crackers, spreading it gently to cover all the crackers.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until bubbly.
- Add Chocolate: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let the chocolate sit for 2 minutes to soften, then spread evenly with an offset spatula.
- Cool & Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt over the melted chocolate. Let cool completely at room temperature or in the fridge until set.
- Break Into Pieces: Once set, break the toffee into pieces and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store the Christmas Crack in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the fridge for 2 weeks. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Toppings: Feel free to customize the toppings! Add festive sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or even a drizzle of white chocolate for a holiday twist.
- Chocolate Type: You can use either milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips depending on your preference. Both options are delicious!
- Cracker Options: Saltines are traditional, but you can substitute with Ritz or Club crackers for a slightly different flavor and texture.
