Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Caramel Chocolate Cracker Cookies (sometimes called “Christmas Crack” or cracker toffee):
🍪 Caramel Chocolate Cracker Cookies
🧾 Ingredients
- 35–40 saltine crackers (or any plain crackers)
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter

- Optional toppings:
- Crushed nuts (almonds, pecans)
- Sprinkles
- Sea salt
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil. - Arrange crackers
Place crackers in a single layer, covering the tray completely. - Make caramel
In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together.
Bring to a boil and let it cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring constantly until thick and bubbly. - Pour & bake
Pour the hot caramel evenly over the crackers.
Bake for 5–7 minutes until bubbly. - Add chocolate
Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then spread melted chocolate evenly. - Top it off
Add nuts, sprinkles, or a pinch of sea salt if you like. - Cool & break

Break into pieces and enjoy!
💡 Tips
- Use digestive biscuits if saltines aren’t available in your area.
- Don’t overcook the caramel—it can turn bitter.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
