Here’s a safe, easy, and delicious Crockpot Christmas Crack recipe—the slow cooker makes it super simple without standing over the stove. It’s sweet, salty, and super addictive!
Ingredients (makes ~8–10 servings)
- 2 cups (340 g) unsalted butter
- 2 cups (400 g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups (180 g) crushed graham crackers (about 8 sheets)
- 1 ½ cups (270 g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- ½ cup (50 g) chopped nuts (optional: pecans or walnuts)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot:
- Line the slow cooker with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Spread the crushed graham crackers evenly on the bottom.
- Make the toffee in the crockpot:
- Add butter and brown sugar to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 2–3 hours, stirring gently every 30–45 minutes.
- When the mixture is melted and caramel-like, stir in vanilla extract.
- Add chocolate and nuts:
- Turn off the crockpot. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee mixture. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until melted, then spread evenly.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts and a pinch of sea salt on top if desired.
- Cool and set:
- Let it cool completely in the crockpot or transfer to a parchment-lined pan and refrigerate until firm.
- Once set, cut into squares or rectangles.
Tips:
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
- You can drizzle white chocolate on top for a festive look.
- This can be made ahead of time for holiday parties—it keeps well for a week or more.
If you want, I can also give a super quick 30-minute stovetop/no-bake version that doesn’t use a crockpot at all—it’s perfect for last-minute holiday treats.
Do you want me to share that version too?
