How to make Christmas crack

Step 1: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Line up a sleeve of saltine crackers on the parchment paper.

Step 3: In a sauce pan, bring the butter and brown sugar to a boil.

Boil the mixture until thick, stirring constantly. This mixture is the toffee layer, but no candy thermometer is required.

Step 4: Pour the thickened caramel toffee mixture over the top of the saltines, then spread evenly with a rubber spoon or spatula. Bake for a few minutes until bubbly.

Step 5: Once done, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle on a bag of semi sweet chocolate chips.

Step 6: Once the chocolate chips have melted, use the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate layer out evenly. The chocolate should be evenly spread to cover all of the crackers.

Now it’s time for toppings! Or you can skip this step and put it right in the fridge. The original version is amazing by itself!
