Instructions
Creating Christmas Cracker Candy is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to make your own batch:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Baking Pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy removal.
3. Arrange Crackers: Lay the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. You can use as many crackers as will fit.
4. Make Toffee Mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil. Let it boil for 2-3 minutes without stirring.
5. Pour Over Crackers: Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture over the crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover them all.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly.
7. Add Chocolate: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the hot toffee. Let them sit for a couple of minutes to soften.
8. Spread Chocolate: Once the chocolate is melted, use a spatula to spread it evenly over the toffee layer.
9. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped nuts and crushed candy canes or sprinkles over the melted chocolate before it sets.
10. Cool: Allow the candy to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
11. Break Into Pieces: Once the candy is set, break it into pieces and store in an airtight container.
With these simple steps, you’ll create a delicious batch of Christmas Cracker Candy that everyone will love!
