Description
This Saltine Cracker Candy (Aka Christmas Crack) is a classic holiday treat that’s irresistibly sweet, salty, and crunchy! Made with buttery caramel, crispy crackers, and rich melted chocolate — it’s perfect for gifting, parties, or snacking all season long. 🎄🍫
Ingredients
Scale
- 40 saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional toppings: crushed candy canes, chopped nuts, festive sprinkles, or sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray lightly with non-stick spray.
- Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer across the bottom of the pan.
- In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once melted, bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes without stirring.
- Carefully pour the hot toffee over the crackers and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 5 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let sit 2–3 minutes, then spread melted chocolate evenly.
- Add your favorite toppings such as nuts, candy canes, or sprinkles.
- Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm. Break into pieces and enjoy!
Notes
💡 Tip: For a twist, try using graham crackers instead of saltines or add a drizzle of white chocolate on top. Store in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze for later!
