Ingredients
- 35-40 saltine crackers
usually about 1 sleeve
- 1 cup 2 sticks butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups mini milk chocolate chips
- 2-3 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles
Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- 3
Place saltine crackers in a single layer across the entire baking sheet, leaving as little space as possible between crackers (without overlapping them).
- 4
Next, in a small saucepan add the butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and keep boiling for 2-3 minutes.
- 5
Pour the boiling sugar over the saltines, coating completely.
- 6
Bake the crackers for 5 minutes (the sugar mixture will be bubbling).

Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the crackers and return to the oven for another minute or two. You want them melted just enough so you can spread the chocolate.

Allow to cool completely, about 2 hours, before breaking into pieces.

Enjoy!

About this Recipe
Craving a holiday treat that's incredibly simple to make yet impossibly addictive? This Christmas Crack recipe delivers a perfect blend of salty and sweet in a festive package, ready to delight your taste buds in just minutes.
This recipe shines because it takes humble saltine crackers and transforms them into an irresistible holiday candy. The magic lies in the simple, yet potent, combination of butter and brown sugar, which, once cooked, creates a rich, buttery toffee layer. This toffee then forms a perfect base for melting milk chocolate chips, all brought together with a festive flourish of Christmas sprinkles.
What you can expect is a delightful crunch from the saltine base, followed by a chewy, golden toffee that melts in your mouth. The sweet, creamy milk chocolate layer adds a luxurious finish, beautifully offset by the playful texture and color of the Christmas sprinkles. It's a truly crowd-pleasing dessert that embodies the spirit of the holidays, offering a satisfying salty-sweet indulgence that's hard to resist. This simple candy is a true holiday marvel.
Customizing your Christmas Crack is easy. While mini milk chocolate chips provide a classic taste, you can swap them for dark chocolate chips for a richer, less sweet profile. If you're out of Christmas sprinkles, any festive sprinkles will do, or you can even omit them for a simpler look.
This delightful treat is perfect for holiday parties, cookie exchanges, or as a homemade gift for friends and family. Serve it alongside other holiday cookies and treats for a memorable spread.
