Hi friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Easy 5 Ingredient Christmas Crack is an absolute must-try this holiday season. This is always a throwback to Christmas growing up for me because my mom made something similar when I was growing up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She topped hers with slivered almonds but I prefer mine with chopped pecans and something to make it a little more festive, like holiday sprinkles or red and green m&ms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer graham crackers as the base, you could substitute them for the saltines in this recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Crack Toffee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is also similar to another favorite of mine: Graham Cracker Toffee Bars<\/a>. In that recipe, I use graham crackers as the base and top them with butter, bits of store-bought toffee and chocolate. It’s definitely a must-try for the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Crack Candy with Saltines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe uses the more traditional base of saltine crackers and you make your own toffee layer by combining butter and brown sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n

A delicious treat made with just a few simple ingredients: saltine crackers<\/a>, butter, brown sugar, chocolate chips and chopped pecans. If you’re feeling festive, add some holiday sprinkles as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking to make these gluten-free you can try Glutino Table Crackers<\/a>. (aff link)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is it called Christmas crack?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The name Christmas crack comes because once this treat is fully hardened, you can crack it into pieces and then hear a satisfying crack when you bite into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
