How to Make Crack Sticks

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Flatten the Bread

Using a rolling pin, roll out each slice of bread until it’s thin and slightly flattened.

Step 4: Spread & Roll

Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each bread slice, then roll it up tightly like a little burrito.

Step 5: Dip in Butter & Cinnamon-Sugar

In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Dip each rolled-up bread stick into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mix to coat completely.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Place your coated sticks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Step 7: Serve & Enjoy!

Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as is or with a side of caramel sauce, chocolate drizzle, or maple syrup for extra indulgence!

What to Serve with Crack Sticks

Crack Sticks are delightful on their own, but if you want to level up your snack game, try pairing them with:

Caramel or chocolate sauce – For dipping!
Fresh berries – Adds a nice fruity contrast.
Coffee, hot chocolate, or tea – The perfect cozy pairing!
Vanilla ice cream – Warm crack sticks + cold ice cream = heaven.

Tips for the Best Crack Sticks

✔ Use fresh bread – Stale bread won’t roll as well and may crack.
✔ Don’t overfill – A thin layer of filling ensures a neat roll-up and even baking.
✔ Bake, don’t fry – Baking keeps them crispy without the extra grease!
✔ Want a crunchier texture? Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving!
