Directions:Preheat your oven to 400º.
Line a sheet cake or jelly roll pan with foil that has been well oiled. You need a pan with sides.
Lay out the crackers in a single layer in the bottom of the pan. Lay the crackers in the bottom of the pan with little or no space between crackers. It will take about 40 crackers (1 sleeve).
Next put 1 cup of butter and ¾ cup brown sugar in a pan and bring it to a boil. Stir it constantly until it is well blended and you can’t see the butter on the top anymore. Once it is blended let it boil for 5 minutes while stirring. Make sure you have the crackers ready before this step. When it is ready the toffee will pull away from the edge of the pan easily.
Now pour the toffee over the top of the crackers and spread it out. Straighten up any wayward crackers with a fork. Then immediately place this in the oven for 5-6 minutes. (During this time you might want to wash the pan you used to make the toffee because once it sets up, it is really hard to get out of the pan.)
After 5 or 6 minutes pull out the crackers and let them cool for about 5 minutes. This pan and the toffee will be extremely hot. After it has cooled 5 minutes sprinkle the top with chocolate chips. As the chips melt spread them smooth with a spatula. Now is a great time to add some more toppings if you wish. We add broken pretzels to mine but many people add nuts or candy to the top. Let the pan set for 4-5 hours. If you don’t have that much time then just pop the pan in the freezer for 30-40 minutes. When the chocolate is hard set, turn the pan over and let the candy fall out. Now break into pieces and eat! |

Notes: The name of this recipe makes it sound sketchy but trust me, it is heavenly. I love Christmas Crack for 3 reasons. 1) It’s Yummy. 2) It’s the easiest dessert that I’ve ever made. 3) You kinda feel gangsta.
So what is Christmas Crack? It’s a super simple dessert that has a toffee layer on bottom covered in chocolate with optional toppings. Why is it named Christmas Crack? I’m guessing it’s because it is super addictive but I didn’t name it so don’t blame me.
