Candy Time!

As the holiday season is just around the corner (thanksgiving is just a few days away!) I am getting in the mood to make some Crack! Now get your minds out of the gutter people its Christmas Crack! OK so its really just a cracker toffee but Christmas Crack sounds better don't you think?! The true name is Chocolate Brittle Surprise but that name was lost to me the instant my family started calling it Christmas Crack as its just so addictive you cant have it just once. My family has a very sick since of humor.

Last year I shared my recipe for Hot Chocolate Mix so this year I thought I would pass on the Christmas Crack recipe as a Thanksgiving thank you for visiting the blog!



Chocolate Brittle Surprise (AKA: Christmas Crack!)

35 Unsalted or Low Salt Saltine Crackers

1c. Butter

1c. Firm Packed Brown Sugar

2c. Milk Chocolate Chips (any chips will work really!)

1c. Chopped Pecans (or the nut of your choice)

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees

- Cover a 10”x15” jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and spray lightly with non stick spray

- place the crackers on foil in 5x7 rows

- in a large bowl microwave the butter for two minutes

- add in the Brown Sugar and stir

- microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds

- immediately pour mix over the crackers*

- bake in your oven for 17 minutes. (should bubble but not burn! I put the sheet on the top rack farthest away from the heat)

- remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Wait a minute or two and the chips will have melted then spread the chips with the back of a spoon.

- sprinkle the nuts over the melted chips

- place in the refrigerator for 1 hour, then break into pieces

* if you need to spread the mix around over the crackers very lightly spray the back of a spoon with non stick spray to keep it from sticking to the spoon.

* i like to use the back of a spoon and press the nuts into the chocolate to help hold them in place! 

And there you have it, Christmas Crack! 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
