This Christmas Crack aka Saltine Cracker Toffee Candy is the most incredibly addicting holiday dessert! The perfect salty, sweet, and crunchy bark made with only 7 easy ingredients. 

Christmas Crack is called that because it is SO good that you just won’t be able to stop at one piece. 

Just imagine biting into a piece of saltine cracker toffee layered with chocolate, toasted nuts, flaked sea salt, and drizzles of white chocolate. 

You won’t ever want to stop!

This stuff is pure heaven! 

If you make just one new holiday dessert this year, it should be this one. 

how to make christmas crack

This recipe is a classic and is so simple to make, but looks impressive!

First, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Next, line a sleeve of saltine crackers on the parchment paper. 

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

Boil until thick, stirring constantly (this is the toffee layer).

Pour the caramel mixture over the top of the saltines evenly, then bake for a few minutes until bubbly. 

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

While the chips melt, toast your nuts for a few minutes in the oven. 

Once the chocolate chips have melted, use the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate layer out evenly. 

Now it’s time for toppings!

I love using walnuts, pecans, sea salt, and drizzled white chocolate.

But you can use whatever you want, the possibilities are endless!
