Christmas Crack Recipe

Description

Here’s how to make a salty and sweet holiday toffee treat.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sleeve saltine crackers
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the saltines on the sheet in a single layer.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high, melt butter and brown sugar together and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally until combined and sugar is melted. Continue boiling, undisturbed for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour caramel mixture over the cracker layer. Spread out with a spatula to cover the saltines evenly.
  • Transfer the sheet to the oven and bake for 5-6 minutes, or until just bubbly.
  • Remove the sheet from the oven and sprinkle immediately with chocolate chips. Return to the oven for 2 minutes, or until the chocolate begins to melt and becomes shiny. Remove from the oven and spread the chocolate out with an icing spatula. Immediately sprinkle with the pecans and salt.
  • Transfer the sheet to the freezer until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months (see more below!).
