Description
A delightful blend of sweet, crunchy, and buttery flavors, Christmas Crack is a fuss-free dessert perfect for holiday celebrations.
Ingredients
- 40 saltine crackers (approximately one sleeve)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, crushed candy canes, or a sprinkle of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and arrange a single layer of saltine crackers on it.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a steady boil.
- Carefully pour the bubbling butter mixture over the saltine crackers, ensuring each cracker is evenly coated.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, allowing it to bubble up.
- Once removed from the oven, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a few minutes until they soften.
- Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee layer.
- If desired, add your favorite toppings while the chocolate is still warm, gently pressing them in.
- Allow the whole creation to cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
