It's super easy to make and very good -- and it's addicting. Once you start eating it, you can't stop....thus the name Christmas Crack!
Christmas Crack
40 saltine crackers
(approx. 1 1/2 sleeves)
1 cup (2 sticks)
salted butter
1 cup dark brown
sugar (I used regular brown sugar, it's what I had on hand)
2 cups chocolate
chips
1 cup chopped
pecans
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400
degrees.
2. On a 9×13″ jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper, line the
saltine crackers side by side until the pan is full.
3. In a saucepot, melt
butter and sugar together. Bring to boil then let boil for 3-5 minutes, do not
stir.
4. Pour the caramel
evenly over the saltines then place in oven to bake for 5 minutes.
5. Remove pan of
saltines from oven and spread chocolate chips evenly on top of the caramel, spreading
it evenly and smoothing it out -- the chips will melt as y ou do this. If you’re using chopped pecans or nuts, this is
now the time to sprinkle them on.
6. Let the toffee and
chocolate cool completely. I sat mine out in the garage covered with foil overnight, or you can stick in the fridge for an hour or so.
7. Once cool, break
into 2 inch pieces.
8. Store in an
airtight container.
