Christmas Crack (Saltine Cracker Toffee)

How to Make Christmas Crack

You have to try this Christmas crack candy for your holiday this year! The salty/sweet combo is amazing! I never have any leftovers because people literally can’t stop eating them. Make sure to try our pretzel Christmas crack too!

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What will I need to complete this recipe?
   1. You will need the following ingredients:
      1. Saltine Crackers
      2. Butter (unsalted)
      3. Brown Sugar
      4. Mini Milk Chocolate Chips
      5. Christmas Sprinkles
   2. You will need the following supplies:
      1. Baking Sheet
      2. Parchment Paper
      3. Mixing Bowl
      4. Spoon/Spatula

1. How do I store these?
   1. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days. If your home is on the warmer side, you may want to store them in the fridge to keep the chocolate from melting.  
2. Do I have to use mini chocolate chips?
   1. Nope. I like to use mini chocolate chips because they’re smaller and melt faster. Regular chocolate chips work just fine for this recipe! You can also substitute dark chocolate chips or even white chocolate chips for this recipe.

4. Can I use pretzels instead of saltine crackers?

Absolutely! Just do a layer of pretzels on the bottom and top with the caramel sauce. They add a bit of saltiness to the sweetness so pretzel Christmas crack is also addicting!

Notes

You can speed up the cooling process by popping the tray into the fridge to help the chocolate set faster.
