Christmas Crack Recipe
Whip up this addictive Christmas Crack recipe! Layers of buttery toffee, crunchy crackers, melted chocolate, and festive sprinkles make a holiday favorite.
Ingredients
- 35 to 40 saltine crackers or fewer larger crackers (as pictured)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup chopped pecans
- Christmas sprinkles for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a 10x15-inch baking sheet with foil or parchment and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Arrange crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt unsalted butter and salt with packed brown sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to boil and thickens slightly. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the hot butter and sugar mixture evenly over the crackers. Use a spatula to help spread it out so every cracker is coated.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes until the mixture is bubbling.
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top. Let sit for about 1 minute to allow the chocolate to soften.
- Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the surface. Then sprinkle chopped pecans and sprinkles (if using) over the chocolate.
- Allow the entire tray to cool until the chocolate hardens. Once set, break into pieces and serve.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
