Ingredients:

  • 40-45 saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve, approx. 170g)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (227g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (340g)
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans, walnuts, or sprinkles (optional, approx. 30g)

Instructions:

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Place the crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, close together.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
  4. Continue boiling, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a light amber color (about 3-5 minutes). Monitor closely, as it can burn easily.
  5. Immediately pour the toffee mixture evenly over the crackers.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee.
  8. Let the chocolate sit for a minute or two to soften, then spread it evenly over the toffee using a spatula.
  9. Sprinkle with chopped nuts or sprinkles, if desired.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is firm.
  11. Break the Christmas Crack into pieces and serve. Now you can enjoy this delicious christmas crack recipe!
