Christmas Crack (I know it sounds weird, but trust me)

I have recently become obsessed with caramel. Now, add chocolate to the caramel and a little bit of salt. The combination creates this delicious and irresistible treat! Enough said, so let’s get to the recipe!

 

Christmas Crack

Ingredients:

• 40 saltine crackers

• 1 cup butter

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 2 cups chocolate chips

• ½ tbsp coarse salt (or flakey salt)

• Optional toppings: sprinkles ot pretzels (if you use pretzels, omit the salt)

Directions:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 

2. Line the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and brown sugar. Once it has come to a simmer, let it simmer for 5 minutes.

4. Remove the pan from heat and pour over the saltine crackers. Quickly, spread the caramel-like mixture across the saltine crackers.

5. Place the tray in the oven for 5-10 minutes until it starts to bubble. 

6. Once removed from the oven, let cool for a minute. Add chocolate chips on top and let them sit for a minute. Then, spread the chocolate across the crackers. Add the salt (and any additional topping if desired).

7. Let cool completely. Break into pieces and enjoy!
