Ingredients
Scale
1 sleeve of saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Arrange Crackers: Place saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. You may need to break some to fit.
Make Toffee Mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it comes to a boil. Allow it to boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
Pour Over Crackers: Pour the toffee mixture evenly over the crackers, ensuring all crackers are covered.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly.
Add Chocolate Chips: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the toffee. Let it sit for a few minutes to melt.
Spread Chocolate: Once the chocolate chips are soft, use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the toffee layer.
Add Nuts: If using, sprinkle chopped nuts over the melted chocolate and gently press them down.
Cool: Allow the Christmas Crack to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until set.
Break Into Pieces: Once cool, break the Christmas Crack into pieces and store in an airtight container.
