This cracker candy is crispy and chocolaty with a sweet buttery toffee finish.

Best Ever Christmas Crack 

(227 grams) unsalted or salted butter

(220 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar

salted saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)

pkg (270 grams-300 grams) milk chocolate chips

toppings

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil (if using regular foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray for easy removal). Spread the crackers out on the foil in a single layer and fold up the edges of the foil to box in the crackers. Set aside.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Bring to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to boil for 5 minutes (set a timer), stirring occasionally. Quickly pour over the crackers and spread to cover completely.

Bake for 5 minutes in the oven. Turn off heat. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.

Let stand for 1-2 minutes or until the chocolate starts to look shiny and is soft enough spread evenly over the toffee. If the chocolate is still not warm enough to spread after 4 minutes, place it back in the oven for a minute to help soften it.

Top with any additional toppings if desired.

Chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to harden. Peel away the foil and break into pieces.

Just made this but used chocolate almond bark instead of chips and shaved it with a cheese grater. Melted almost instantly. Topped with chopped butterfinger. It is primo!

This is absolutely delicious.  Made it for the first time this year!   Added chopped pecans to 1/3, white chocolate chips to 1/3, and M&amp;M's and christmas cookie candies to the other 1/3.  So cute and such a variety!

Wonderful recipe and you tips were very helpful!  Thank you this will now be on my Christmas baking list every year!

So easy.  I think I'm going to use crunches up peppermint sticks on top this time.

One of the easiest and most addictive desserts to make and have around! I had to give most of it to family or I risked eating the whole platter.
It’s a recipe I’ll be making each year! I topped with Heath bar bits to half and sea salt on the other half. It doesn’t matter what you put on there, it’s delicious!

So good!! I lay toasted slivered almonds on the top before putting it in the oven, I have heavier cookie sheets so it takes about 8 minutes to bubble, when it comes out I usually toss on the Chocolate chips and cover with another cookie sheet, traps the heat and in a few minutes they spread easily, everyone i know loves these!!

I'm hesitant to put a hot cookie sheet in a cold refrigerator glass shelf.  Is it safe?  How long after the bake/spread of chocolate do you wait before putting in the refrigerator?

This recipe is foolproof and tastes amazing! 

This recipe is very easy and it tastes great! I can’t wait to make another batch. It only uses 4 ingredients . Then it can be topped with colored sprinkles or candies or nuts, it’s endless. So easy makes it fun!

My grandmother passed away two years ago today. Every year around Christmas, she would mail out baked goods and this tasted just like the toffee she would send. I may have ugly cried- thank you for the delicious recipe ❤️

I use to makes this with trail mix. But lost the recipe. You're a blessings. Great recipe I use to enjoy so much.

So easy and delicious!
I used butter crackers and baked it 10 minutes until it was definitely bubbly.
Thank you for all your time and effort with all these wonderful recipes😊

I think my toffee overcooked.  I would have been better off using a candy thermometer since all stoves are different and some "medium" on the cooktop is subjective.  But it was so easy to make.  WE haven't tasted yet....it's in the fridge, but I am sure they will still be yummy because the toffee tasted ok....just a tad "burnt" (almost gave it a sorghum hint).  Thanks for this fun recipe!!

yummy, followed recipe, added toasted almonds:)

My daughter and I just made this. It's soooo good... We used Ritz crackers. One question. Will the crackers stay crispy after being frozen and thawed? Thanks. 🙂

I have been making this for a couple of years now, it is pretty easy to make and yes it disappears really quick. It is so delicious. 

Yummy &amp; easy enough for my son to make 

I just decided to make this tonight, and it was super easy! It’s cooling right now as we speak. I can’t wait to try it!

I love it!!! I can’t believe I made this delicious treat 😂. It was so easy and took no time at all. This is a winner!!

Just perfect for the holidays!
Party favorite!

Simple, 4 ingredients, outstanding results! Add it to your treat plate! 

Sweet and salty, this Christmas Crack recipe comes together easily with only a handful of simple ingredients! Crackers paired with chocolate and caramel, this makes for a delicious festive treat!

Christmas Crack Recipe

saltine crackers

salted butter

brown sugar

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.

Peanut Butter Bits Cracker Candy 

(2) 8.8 oz boxes Peanut Butter Ritz Bits

butter

chocolate chips

tbsp butter, for topping

peanuts, roughly chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Arrange an even layer of cracker bits to the edges of the baking sheet and set aside.

In a small saucepan, add sugar and butter and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 3-4 minutes then immediately pour mixture over the arranged crackers.

Bake for 6-8 minutes, caramel will be bubbling.

Let the sheet cool for a few minutes while you melt the chocolate.

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate and 1 tablespoon butter in 30 second increments until fully melted.

Pour chocolate over crackers and spread into an even layer. Top with chopped peanuts if desired.

Allow candy to fully cool before breaking or cutting into pieces (cooling can be sped up in the fridge).
