I know we all have them, I have a new one.... its called "Christmas Crack" Its basically a choclate toffee bark. I'll share mine if you share yours?


1 sleeve saltine crackers
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 package chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a 10" x 15" cookie sheet with foil (I used parchment and didn't greese anything) (the kind of sheet that has raised edges!). Spray with Pam, or grease VERY lightly with butter. Cover the cookie sheet with a single layer of saltines. Bring butter and brown sugar to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring with a whisk. Pour over the saltines, and try to spread it as evenly as possible. Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.

When you remove it, the caramel mixture will be molten and boiling; allow to cool about 3 min, or until you can see the crackers distinctly, which will have shifted while baking. Push them back into order with a fork or knife. (I skip this step compelty)


Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the toffee and let sit for about 5 minutes to melt. Once melted spread chocolate evenly. If desired, sprinkle on pecans and press lightly into the chocolate. (I had to put it in the oven to melt with the door open for me to watch... but its cool in my house) Let cool a bit and then transfer to fridge to harden.


Once hard, break the candy into small pieces and place in containers.

oooh yes, I make this one too. I sounds so weird, but it's definitely delicious! Everyone just raves about it and can't believe it's made from saltine crackers. But, I disagree. The nuts are NOT optional

Sounds yummy but there is no way in He** that I am going to a store today.

I will most certainly try it after the holidays.

What? Those few ingredients should be staples in any household! Are you sure you don't have them already????? You could substitute the pecans for walnuts, it's still good that way.
