- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup festive sprinkles (optional)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts, optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Base
- Line your crockpot with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer, covering the bottom.
Step 2: Create the Caramel Sauce 2. In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches a smooth, caramel consistency.
Step 3: Pour Over Saltines 3. Pour the luscious caramel sauce evenly over the saltines, ensuring every cracker is generously coated.
Step 4: Slow Cook to Perfection 4. Set your crockpot to low heat and cover. Allow the Christmas Crack to cook for 2 hours, allowing the caramel to infuse the crackers with its irresistible flavor.
Step 5: Melt the Chocolate 5. Once the crackers have absorbed the caramel goodness, sprinkle semisweet and white chocolate chips over the top. Cover and let the residual heat melt the chocolate for approximately 30 minutes.
Step 6: Spread and Garnish 6. Once the chocolate is melted, use a spatula to spread it evenly. If desired, sprinkle festive decorations and chopped nuts over the top for added flair.
Step 7: Chill and Set 7. Place the crockpot insert in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight to allow the Christmas Crack to set.
Step 8: Serve with Joy 8. Once set, cut into squares and serve this delectable treat with a side of holiday cheer.
