What is Christmas Crack?
Christmas Crack (also called “Saltine Toffee”) is a super easy holiday treat made by layering saltine crackers with buttery brown sugar, adding chocolate on top, and then chilling it until it’s ready to break into pieces. The mix of sweet, rich chocolate, and crunchy crackers is seriously addictive — hence the name “crack”!
Tips for the Best Christmas Crack
- Use the Right Crackers: While saltines are the traditional choice for this recipe, feel free to experiment with pretzel thins or graham crackers for a different flavor!
- Storage: Store your Christmas crack in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. It can also be kept at room temperature for a few days if you prefer a slightly softer texture.
- Customize your Christmas Crack recipe with sprinkles!
Gift Idea
Pack the pieces of Christmas crack in festive jars or tins to give as holiday gifts! I love to give this to family and friends by putting it in a festive plastic bag then tying it with a fun ribbon.
