Christmas Crack Recipe (Saltine Toffee)

saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve, may need a few more or less depending on your jelly roll pan)

unsalted butter

brown sugar (well packed)

vanilla extract

salt (kosher

chocolate

Line pan.

Line a jelly roll pan (10 x 15 inches) with nonstick foil (or heavy duty foil and and coat with cooking spray).  You can also use a silicone baking mat.

Preheat oven.

Place crackers.

Place the crackers in a single layer on the jelly roll pan. You may have a little space left over - that is perfectly fine.

Start caramel.

Melt brown sugar and butter together in a 3 quart heavy bottomed sauce pan, stirring frequently over medium high heat.

Bring to a boil.

Bring to a boil and boil for 3 full minutes stirring almost continuously. (If using a candy thermometer, you are looking for 270°F-290°F degrees.)

Add vanilla and salt.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.

Pour caramel.

Pour caramel mixture over the top of the saltines and spread evenly over the crackers.

Bake.

Bake for 5 minutes in the preheat oven. Caramel should be bubbling vigorously when removed. (If using a candy thermometer, you are looking for 300°F-310°F degrees.)

Add chocolate.

Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and cover the pan with foil. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Spread chocolate.

Remove foil and use an offset spatula to gently spread melted chocolate.

Add toppings and chill.

Sprinkle on toppings if desired. Let toffee set up at room temperature until completely cooled, or chill in fridge for at least 2 hours.

Cut or crack.

Carefully peel away the foil from the bottom of the toffee and then use your hands to &quot;crack&quot; it or use a knife to cut into pieces.

Enjoy or store.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Christmas Crack (Saltine Toffee)

This Saltine Cracker Toffee was my grandma&#x27;s recipe. It&#x27;s addicting and one of my favorite treats!

salted saltine crackers

brown sugar

milk chocolate chocolate chips

pecans

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with at least a 1/2 inch edge or jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Line saltine crackers in a single layer on the cookie sheet.

In a small pot combine sugar and butter and bring to a boil. Once mixture is at a boil, continue boiling for 3 minutes. Mixture should be a deep caramel color. Immediately pour over saltines and spread to cover crackers completely.

Bake at 400 degrees for 5 to 6 minutes. It will get all bubbly and the crackers will look like they are floating. Remove from oven and straighten any crackers that have gotten out of line. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and let sit a couple of minutes to melt. If your pan isn&#039;t hot enough you can even pop it back in the oven for a couple of minutes to melt them. Sometimes I melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for about 1 minute then spread it on. Spread melted chocolate and top with chopped nuts if desired. Cool completely. You can pop it in the fridge for a couple of minutes to help the chocolate set. Break into pieces and eat.

Whether you call it poor man’s toffee, redneck toffee, or just plain saltine cracker toffee - this is one sweet treat you&#039;ll love!

saltine crackers

butter ((1 stick))

½ cup packed light brown sugar

chocolate chips

(toasted pecans)

Place pecans in a small baking pan in a 350 degree oven. Cook for 5 minutes or until nuts are toasted.

To toast pecans:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Place the crackers in a single layer in a small baking pan.

Cook brown sugar and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until butter is completely melted and mixture comes to a rapid boil.

Pour over crackers and spread out with a wooden spoon or brush making sure to cover all the way to the edges of the crackers.

Bake 5 minutes or until topping is golden brown.

Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Turn the oven off and place the pan back in the hot oven for 1 minute to soften the chocolate chips.

Remove from oven and spread chocolate evenly over the crackers.

Sprinkle with nuts.

Allow the mixture to cool completely until the chocolate has re-solidified. Break into pieces.

Saltine Toffee Recipe

salted butter (2 sticks)

brown sugar (packed)

sprinkles

Place the crackers on the foil in a single layer and set aside.

In a medium sauce pan, heat butter and sugar over medium heat.

Allow the butter to melt, stirring constantly with a whisk. Bring the mixture to a boil for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Pour the butter mixture over the crackers and spread it out evenly. Bake for 5 minutes then remove from the oven.

Let the crackers cool for 10 minutes.

Once the crackers have cooled, melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds.

Pour the chocolate over the crackers and use a spatula to spread it out evenly. Top with sprinkles.

Chill the cracker mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until hardened. Use a sharp knife to cut the saltine toffee into smaller pieces.

Few people are capable of resisting the siren call of Saltine Cracker Toffee (aka Christmas Crack)! It&#39;s got that tempting salty and sweet thing going on with great buttery crunch and rich chocolate on top.

Christmas Crack

40-50 saltine crackers

salted butter, (cubed (227 grams))

light brown sugar, (packed (200 grams))

milk chocolate chips, ((or semisweet, milk, or dark))

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Line with a single layer of crackers arranged side-by-side. A jelly roll pan works best but if your pan is larger just fold up the edges of the foil a bit to create a barrier so the toffee doesn&#39;t spread too much when it&#39;s added. Set aside.

Combine butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat on the stove. Stir with a wooden spoon until the butter has melted and started to combine with the brown sugar. Once the mixture starts to bubble, set a timer for 3 minutes. Let it boil, stirring constantly, until the timer goes off. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.

Pour the toffee mixture evenly over the saltine crackers, then use a knife to nudge it over any crackers that didn&#39;t get covered. It doesn&#39;t have to be perfect though because it will continue to spread as the toffee bakes.

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes until bubbly.

Remove the toffee from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes to melt from the residual heat of the pan, then spread with a knife of spatula to create an even coating of chocolate over the top of the toffee. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans, M&amp;M&#39;s, or other toppings while the chocolate is still soft.

Let the toffee set up until the chocolate has hardened (usually 1-2 hours at room temperature in a cool house, although you can stick it in the fridge or freezer to speed up the process). Break or cut into pieces and store in an airtight container on the counter for 1-2 weeks.

This quick and easy saltine cracker toffee combines salty crackers, buttery toffee, and rich chocolate for a deliciously addictive treat. It's perfect for holiday gatherings or indulging!

saltine crackers (approx. 1 sleeve)

salt

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Fill the entire pan.

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once it reaches a boil, stop stirring and let it boil for 3 minutes.

Immediately pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the saltine crackers. Use an offset spatula to quickly spread it into an even layer, fully coating the crackers.

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 5-6 minutes until the caramel is bubbling all over.

Remove from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot caramel. Let sit for 3-5 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

Use an offset spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth, even layer. Sprinkle chopped pecans and flaky sea salt on top, if desired.

Let the toffee cool completely until the chocolate is set. Cool it on the counter for a couple of hours or in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Once fully cooled and set, break or cut the toffee into irregular pieces. Serve and enjoy!

chocolate chips chocolate

walnuts (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350℉.

Drizzle the caramel mixture evenly over the crackers, spreading to cover if needed. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and turn the oven OFF.

Sprinkle the chocolate evenly over the crackers. Return the pan to the warm oven for about 1 minute, or until the chocolate is soft and glistening. It will not take more than a minute or two.

Once the chocolate has hardened, cut or break it into bite-size bars. Store the toffee candy in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Thank you Kristen! I'll finally be making these this year with gluten free crackers since I have celiac. I've never liked the name Christmas crack and wouldn't eat it for that reason.I wish ppl would call it Saltine Cracker Toffee instead! Just don't think crack is anything to joke about or associate with Christmas or even be casually referred to in a family setting or anything else.
Take care! Hope you're well!

One word- AMAZING!! I made it for holiday gifts and my family almost ate it all!! Good thing it's so easy to make, I will have to make more!

I wish I had read further down to see you added pecans since it wasn't in the list of ingredients.  Dang it!  Otherwise, it's good but I'm making a batch without the chocolate and using caramel bits and pecans.

These are amazing and so easy. Don’t use a candy thermometer let it boil the 3 minutes until bubbly.

Very quick and easy!  Turned out great. Will make again.

Always a treat, and although we have already made all our Christmas goodies,  this may still be sneaked in although after the fact and late, but its so yum
I visited you via A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING
I linked up this week with = 45+46.  Hope you will join us M-S SeniorSalonPitStop and W-S #WordlessWednesday. You will find it under BLOGGING.

Great treat. Quick and easy to make. Suggest using parchment instead of foil. Slides right off!

Everything went well till I tried to spread the chocolate chips over the toffee. They didn’t melt completely and when I tried to spread them, the crackers would com up with the chocolate. I even tried melting them under the broiler with the same results. Finally resorted to squashing them with a spoon and dousing them with sprinkles. They’re in the fridge now. I’ll see how they taste after they cool. This is why I don’t bake.
