Instructions
Making Christmas Crack is an enjoyable process. Here’s how to create this tasty treat:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the Saltine crackers in a single layer, covering the entire sheet.
3. Make the Toffee: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Allow it to boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
4. Pour Over Crackers: Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture over the Saltine crackers, ensuring they are evenly coated.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly and golden.
6. Add Chocolate: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a few minutes until melted.
7. Spread the Chocolate: Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee.
8. Add Nuts: If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the chocolate layer. Press them down lightly to ensure they stick.
9. Cool: Allow the Christmas Crack to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. For quicker cooling, place it in the refrigerator.
10. Break into Pieces: Once cooled, break the Christmas Crack into pieces and serve.
By following these steps, you’ll have a delicious batch of Christmas Crack ready to delight everyone!
