Christmas Crack Recipe

saltine crackers

salted butter

semi-sweet chocolate chips ((12-ounce))

toppings (such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, flaked salt, or candy)

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll or quarter sheet pan with foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray.

Line the bottom of the pan with a single layer of crackers. Break some in half to fit if needed.

In a small pot, melted butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar. Cook, stirring frequently until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes or until a candy thermometer reads between 255 and 265F when moved throughout the pot. Immediately pour over the crackers and spread with a spatula to evenly coat them.

Bake for 5 minutes or until the caramel is bubbling throughout most of the pan. Remove the pan from the oven and turn the oven off. Let the tray cool just until the caramel stops bubbling, about 3 minutes.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips all over the top of the caramel and let stand for 10 minutes. Use an offset spatula to spread the chocolate into an even layer all over the top of the caramel. (If the chips aren’t fully melted, place the tray in the warm oven for a minute or two and spread again.)

Sprinkle with the toppings of your choice. Cool for 30 minutes then place in the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day. Use the foil to lift the candy out of the tray, and peel the foil away. Break the candy into pieces before serving.

This Pecan Pie Bark recipe is perfect for you if you don&#039;t want your graham cracker toffee to be grainy! Corn syrup makes the pecan-topped toffee buttery smooth. It&#039;s made in a 13x9 baking pan instead of a large sheet pan.

Pecan Pie Bark (Graham Cracker Toffee)

graham crackers sheets ((or 8 full sheets))

pecan pieces or coarsely chopped pecans

salted butter ((1 1/2 sticks))

corn syrup ((optional))

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Line a 13x9-inch baking pan or baking dish with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the foil with butter or use the butter wrappers.

Break each graham cracker sheet in half or into quarters. Some may have to be broken to fit around the edges. The crackers will be covered up with toffee mixture, anyway!

Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the arranged crackers.

In a large saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. The corn syrup is optional but I have found that it makes a huge difference to prevent sugary, grainy texture in the toffee mixture.

Cook the butter mixture over medium to medium-low heat, stirring often, until the butter melts. When mixture comes to a full rolling boil, boil for 2 minutes over medium to medium-low heat, stirring very slowly in a figure eight pattern, keeping that full boil.

Immediately pour mixture over the pecans and graham crackers. Use a spoon to spread the mixture evenly over the graham crackers, if needed. The toffee mixture will continue to spread as it bakes in the oven.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the center of the mixture begins to bubble. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Break into about 2 inch pieces.
