Thought that’d be a funny disclaimer to throw out there :) but seriously — we love this stuff and it’s a total classic for the holidays!
Anyway, I’m sure you all know what this is, right? Its been all over the web, its been in your family’s recipe arsenal for generations.
Or maybe not and this is your first time seeing this! Whatever the case, you must give this a try!
When I first had this, I was a non-believer. And now, I’m a believer. Saltines with chocolate and caramel = win.
This takes only about, 10 minutes to make, an hour or so to completely chill, and you have yourself a highly addictive treat for Christmas day :)
Christmas Crack
Equipment
Ingredients
- 40 saltine crackers, approx. 1 sleeve
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (220 g) dark brown sugar
- 2 cups (473 g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 °F (204 °C)
- On a 9×13" jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper, line the saltine crackers side by side until the entire pan is filled.
- In a saucepot, melt butter and sugar together. Stir together then bring to boil then let boil for 5-7 minutes, do not stir while it's boiling, but also make sure it doesn't burn.
- CAREFULLY pour the contents of the pot evenly over the saltines then place in oven to bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In the meantime, in a microwave safe bowl, gently melt the chocolate, stirring in 30 second intervals until it's melted through and no clumps remain.
- Pour chocolate evenly on top of the caramel, spreading it evenly and smoothing it out. Sprinkle chopped pecans all over.
- Let the sugar mixture and chocolate cool completely. I popped mine in the fridge for about an hour.
- Once cool, break into pieces – doesn't have to be uniform in shape.
- Store in an airtight container if you have any leftovers.
My step mom makes this every year and it is a crowd favorite. It’s the sweet and salty and crunchy and chocolatey. amazeballs.
Happy Christmas luvah!!
