Christmas Crack
Layers of chocolate and buttery toffee make this easy treat totally addictive!
Equipment
- 1 13x18 baking sheet
Ingredients
- 48-50 saltine crackers
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- crushed pecans, drizzled white chocolate, Christmas sprinkles garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- Line a 13x18 baking sheet with foil. Coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the saltines on the baking sheet so that there are no gaps between them.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, stir in the brown sugar using a wire whisk. Continue to whisk the mixture over medium heat until it bubbles, thickens and becomes creamy. If using a candy thermometer, aim for a temperature of 295F-305F degrees.
- Remove the toffee from heat and quicky stir in the vanilla and salt. Then, quickly pour it over the crackers and spread it out to cover. Bake for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and quickly sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the toffee. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes, until they become glossy. Then, use an offset spatula to spread the chocolate over the toffee layer.
- Add crushed pecans, Christmas sprinkles or melted white chocolate as decorations, if preferred.
- Chill in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
