20 Minute Christmas Crack is my #1, all time favorite, easiest ever to make candy! I love this stuff! I cannot be left alone with this candy! I’m a sweet and salty addict and a chocolate addict. A couple of the best things about this candy are, that it always turns out, and that the kids can easily help make it!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, no substitutes
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 sleeves saltine crackers
  • 1½ cups semi sweet chocolate chips
  • Sprinkles, chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
  3. Line foil with saltine crackers, touching salt side up. You probably won't need quite two sleeves of crackers.
  4. Over medium heat, while constantly stirring, bring butter and sugar to a gentle boil. Once it's boiling remove spoon and boil for exactly 3 minutes. You want the heat to be as low as possible while maintaining a boil.
  5. Pour over saltine crackers. Spread with the back of a spoon if necessary.
  6. Bake for 5 minutes.
  7. Immediately after removing them from the over sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let sit for a few minutes. Spread with the back of a spoon.
  8. Decorate with sprinkles, chopped nuts or colored dipping chocolates.
