Main Ingredients

40 pieces saltine crackers
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer.
In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring until it comes to a boil. Boil for 3-4 minutes without stirring.
Pour the hot mixture evenly over the saltine crackers.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 5-6 minutes, until bubbly.

Topping

Remove from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Let them sit for a few minutes to melt, then spread the chocolate evenly.
Top with chopped nuts and a sprinkle of sea salt, if desired.

Cooling

Allow to cool completely before breaking into pieces.

Notes

Store your Christmas Crack in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. It can also be refrigerated for longer storage. Make sure to let it come to room temperature before serving.
