"I'm addicted to crack!"
"I need more crack."
"I'm such a crack ho."
And the recipe, with variations was posted.
To be honest, they all looked really gross.
But with the raves and accolades and the fact that I had all four ingredients for the "pure" crack variation, I thought I'd give it a whirl to rave reviews.
Here it is...pure and simple...
Christmas Crack
1 sleeve Saltines (though club crackers seem popular as well)
1 cup butter (MUST use butter)
1 cup brown sugar
1 bag chocolate chips (can use other flavors, but chocolate is the orginal)
1. Preheat your oven to 350.
2. Line a cookie sheet with tin foil.
3. Spray with Pam. (I didn't do this the first two times and had the joy of peeling the foil off with my nails.)
4. Line the foil covered cookies sheet with one layer of crackers. Don't break them or smash them or anything. Just lay them out.
5. Boil the brown sugar and butter together. Now, this is important. Let it boil for about five minutes or else you'll just end up with an ooey-gooey mess. Seriously. It happened to me. Twice.
6. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the crackers.
7. Bake for 10 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and pour the chocolate chips on top. When they're soft, spread them around with a spoon.
9. Chill for two hours and then "crack" apart.
Some variations I've seen included topping the soft chocolate with chopped nuts or chopped candy cane.
Enjoy this somewhat easy-to-make treat!

I haven't seen this stuff in YEARS!
So. excited!
thanks for the recipe... we are trying to pace ourselves so we don't gobble this up at one sitting!
OMG! I'm sure I'll be crackin up tonight.
One of my favorite treats as a kid was to spread chocolate frosting on saltines... But this, this is all fancy. I mean, you use a recipe and everything.
I'll have to make a batch for this weekend. Thanks for the recipe. :)
