Christmas Crack
Crisp and flaky saltine crackers are covered with a sweet toffee like coating, then that's topped with generous layer of rich chocolate, and to spruce it up you can finish with nutty pecans or colorful sprinkles if desired. A super easy treat that's perfect for holiday parties and gifting!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed 15 by 10-inch jelly roll sheet* (this size HERE - affiliate link) with aluminum foil. Spray foil with non-stick cooking spray.
2
Align crackers in a single layer on prepared baking sheet, set aside.
3
Add butter and brown sugar to a medium saucepan (2.5 - 3 quart). Heat mixture over medium heat. Cook stirring constantly until mixture reaches a full boil. Once it boils stop stirring and let boil ⏱️ 3 minutes.
4
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla (stand back it will sputter!).
5
Immediately (and carefully) hot mixture evenly over crackers. Spread evenly as needed.
6
Bake in preheated oven ⏱️ 5 minutes. Carefully remove from oven (this is boiling hot sugar)**.
7
Right away sprinkle chocolate chips over mixture. Let rest ⏱️ 5 minutes to allow chocolate to melt***.
8
Spread chocolate into an even layer using an offset spatula, sprinkle evenly with nuts or sprinkles if using.
9
Transfer to fridge and let chocolate harden, about ⏱️ 30 minutes, or freeze for ⏱️ 15 minutes.
10
Remove from fridge, lift cracker from foil and break into pieces. Store in an airtight container (I like to refrigerate though it's not a must).
