A Christmas Must-Make
Also known as saltine cracker toffee, this Christmas crack recipe may have an unusual name, but it’s one of our kids’ favorite holiday desserts that we have to make each year! This candy recipe is an easy version of homemade toffee made by layering saltine crackers, a quick caramel sauce, and chocolate – just four ingredients and a few simple steps. And the result is pure Christmas magic (and SO delicious – hence the name “crack”). 😉 This holiday favorite is a great treat for parties and gatherings and an especially yummy filler for holiday cookie plates.
