Christmas Crack is a sweet and salty treat made with saltine crackers covered with toffee, baked, and then topped with semi-sweet chocolate. Sometimes called saltine cracker toffee, it is as easy to make as it is addicting, so watch out! I love to serve it with other Christmas cookies on a Dessert Charcuterie Board. And then, get some more ready for the next holiday with New Year’s Eve Crack!
Crackers: Saltine crackers are the base of Christmas crack. If you don’t have saltines, you could use Ritz crackers, soda crackers, or even graham crackers.
Butter: Unsalted butter is melted with brown sugar to make the toffee that covers the crackers. I prefer unsalted butter because it is easier to control the salt in the recipe.
Chocolate: Semi-sweet chocolate chips are spread over the top of the toffee-covered crackers. You could also try the crackers with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, or your favorite flavor of candy chips.
