Ingredients:

  • 40 saltine crackers (enough to cover a 9×13-inch baking sheet)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
  • Sea salt or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Arrange the Crackers: Line the prepared baking sheet with saltine crackers, arranging them in a single layer to completely cover the bottom of the pan.
  3. Make the Toffee: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for 3-5 minutes until it thickens and becomes a rich caramel color.
  4. Pour the Toffee: Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the saltine crackers, spreading it out with a spatula to cover all the crackers.
  5. Bake the Toffee-Covered Crackers: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling all over. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
  6. Add the Chocolate: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let the chocolate chips sit for 2-3 minutes to melt. Once melted, use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the toffee.
  7. Add Toppings (Optional): While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and sea salt or sprinkles on top, if desired.
  8. Chill and Break: Allow the Christmas Crack to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set. Once set, break the toffee into pieces by hand.
  9. Serve: Serve your Christmas Crack on a platter or store it in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Enjoy this sweet, salty, and crunchy holiday treat!
