- Back when I lived with a houseful of roommates, Jamie would make this super easy #candy using #saltinecrackers. :) I haven't had it in years, so let's see if it's as good as I remember. :)

How about some depression era Christmas cooking?
That is such a great idea!! Yes please!
Good idea! I like it
I think that’s what the water/soda pie was about 😉
we reverting huh
@@sundogsun gotta be prepared for the worst lol
You really are sunshine in person
👀👀👀👀really
Her channel is one of the few good things still going on despite most of the rest of the world being messed up. We must protect Emmy and her family at all costs!
Could she be any cuter?
@@zrobeastA great escape at a time when the world is not doing well. 🖖
Most accurate description I’ve ever heard 😄
I remember being a teenager when this recipe became popular. It was literally on everyone's Christmas cookie table suddenly when no one had heard of it before. An overnight sensation.
Really? I experienced the same thing with those ooey gooey butter cake cookies lol!
@@TimoteoDeBaum I need this recipe in my life
@@TimoteoDeBaum my bfs mom still makes it! He and his sister had no idea she didn't invent it until they were adults
Ah! So it was like the dalgona coffee of that year? Might have already existed for quite some time before but went crazy viral one year, I mean :D
This reminded me of a nighttime treat my mom used to make when I was a kid (a few decades ago).
Saltines, smear of peanut butter and 5 mini marshmallows on each one, toasted in the oven for less than a minute (low broil until marshmallows are browned).
Makes for an easy, gooey, salty, slightly sweet snack.
I made some tonight for the first time in ages.
Thanks for the memories! 😊
I've never heard of that but it sounds absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing.
That sounds amazing. Would make a great snack for when I want something sweet but don't have anything here. I'm wondering if this could be done in an air fryer.
My husband makes this quite often! We've always called it Christmas Crack!
yesss. my parents used to make this and they called it christmas crack because "it's so good it's addicting like crack" LMAO
I love that so much!! Thanks for sharing!
Same here, called crack.... you keep going back for more.... although i hear its never as good as your 1st cracker of the day!
Same! But we were calling it Christmas crack way before the drug was even a thing. My grandma called it Christmas crack because you made it at Christmas time and you cracked it when it was hardened.
Yes!!! That's what I call it too
No matter how depressed or anxious I am, you always make my day so much brighter. Thank you for being you.
Hang in there! Sending ❤️
Same here, it's just sooo relaxing and soothing watching her videos. Her videos always brighten my day with her warm personality ♥️
I always watch Emmy when I'm feeling sick. I don't feel better but I don't feel alone.
I came to say the same thing. She really has a way of spreading love and good vibes ❤️
This was the first thing my oldest ever made with absolutely zero help from me. I didn't even know they existed until she made them. It made me feel proud.
Very proud...
and...
very very old.
I’m gonna do this with the pretzel thins instead of saltines.
Ooh I bet that'll be even better
@@vhart1979 totally would.
My mil uses Ritz crackers. The buttery flavor comes through really well
@@jaz_5532 yes! Yummy great idea.
@@vhart1979 I made it with partially crushed pretzel twists instead of saltines & it turned out delicious!
For some reason she reminds me of waldo in that outfit.. She's soo stinkin cute!
Sylvia Parraz, I see it now that you pointed it out lol 😆

I've used crushed peppermints on top of the melted chocolate. Yummmmm...
Oh my gawd 😮 how have I not thought of that?! You’re a dang genius 🤯🙌🏽🙌🏽✨
That's what I thought of doing as soon as I found this video
Melt some terry's chocolate oranges and sprinkle crushed peppermint after
@@ShiningAndStarstruck Oh, yeasssssssss.
@@christineceriani maybe some soft Italian meringue mixed with dulce de leche or something as a dip
Everytime she says "Hello my beautiful lovelys!" I feel so special and important. I love it.
One year I was in the hospital over Christmas and a family member brought me some cracker candy. It was so kind, and really made me feel not so alone!
I remember when my family forgot my birthday and Christmas for years consecutive when I was being tortured to death in a foreign country.
In Argentina we have a dessert that is called “Turrón de Quaker” which is made with crackers, oats, chocolate, butter, sugar and dulce de leche.
You should try it 😁😁
That sounds delicious!
Recipe?
Apa, no tenía idea de esto... haciendooooo, que galletitas?
Please share the recipe!
After the last Argentine recipe I'm eager to see if she makes this one
Christmas crack is THE BEST!!! It’s super yummy with ritz crackers too
Ritz are sooo good 🤤
My aunt makes something similar with graham crackers
@@cospaws8810 I was wondering about using other things, such as graham crackers or cookies
Is it hard to use the round ritz crackers instead of square crackers when you pour the toffee on top?
@@trude8073 i think it would be ok, I’d maybe pack more ritz in 😛 also I think it’s ok if the crackers move around they will settle eventually
We add Bacon and Pecans on top! This is Southern Staple!
When do you add the bacon?! I'm super intrigued
@@GlamGoreChaosQueen In our household, we add the bacon and pecans into the brown sugar mixture about 30 seconds before removing it from the heat. You can also garnish your crackers with the bacon and pecans right after you pour your brown sugar onto the Saltines. It's really a matter of preference. We add ours into the mixture so that it's coated and stays in place better once dried.
@@heatguillen okay, cool! Thanks ❤️ bacon pecan just sounds heavenly!!!
@@GlamGoreChaosQueen It is!! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do and it becomes a staple in your home! Merry Christmas! 🎄
B-BACON AND P-ECANS???? OMG YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Thank you so much for this! I usually make homemade fudge for family and friends around the holidays, but recently was in a pretty traumatizing car accident that left me in the hospital for 7 days. I am physically fine, but still healing emotionally. This looks like the perfect dessert that I can make to change things up while not overwhelming myself! Emmy.... you never fail to make me smile :)
Hope you're doing better now!
@@arianapadilla9351 thank you, I am 🙂
Trippy, have you tried the Velveta Cheese Fudge recipe? No foolin, it is delicious!!!! Easy, smooth, and chocolaty. Just be certain when you google it that it uses cocoa .
Enjoy!
@@trishaporte I have not tried it, but I mean, cheese and chocolate doesn't even sound weird to me, i love sweet and salty ☺
@@showmeyrt33th lol, when you put it that way, truly it does sound better! You’d never know when you eat it however!
I’m starting my college dorm experience and all your cheap tricks and snacks are my life ❤️
Good luck
My great aunt makes this every Christmas. I haven't been able to visit her for a few years because of work. I hope I get to see her again soon.
Maybe you should call her
You should make time .
@@googleuser7827 Well, this year is a little difficult because of Covid. But definitely I hope that passes soon.
Wow I have never seen anyone else make this besides my grandma! She would make it every year with other toffees and chocolates and mail them to us since she lived out of state. She passed away last month due to COVID and this brought back some memories😭❤️
I had a coworker who used to make this, called it her "Christmas crack" I fell in love with it! Quit the job, forgot about Cynthia's Christmas Crack, but alas I have found it again!
My neighbour does this as part of her Christmas care package to her friends and family. Ive gotten a tin full of cakes and cookies and this recipe like 8 years in a row now.
Geesh! I like to throwdown on Saltines by themselves. Incorporating sweets?! Sign me up! 😋
We have been making saltine cracker candy since I was a kid!! A great treat for holidays. A wonderful variation is using Graham crackers and butterscotch chips on top.
"When they all fit perfectly" I can relate. Its such a good feeling!
I've totally had this made with matzoh during passover. :-)
I’ve always made it with matzoh as well!
Yes, came here to say the same thing! I make matzah crack with a variety of toppings every year 😊
A great idea for leftover Matzoh!
I made this using matzah during Passover. It was the most delicious thing I ate that week.
Was thinking the same thing!
Lol my friend calls it "Matzah crack"
@@Hiphop618 same!
My mom makes it every year.
That's what I immediately thought of. I had no idea this had any association with Christmas, since when made with matzot it's such a common dessert during passover (at least among Midwestern US Jewish folk)
You can also sprinkle crushed candy canes on top for an especially festive snack. I had a friend who once topped it with bacon... Not that I'm recommending that.one.
I want a Mary Poppins “Rrruumm punch!” from her.
Christmas crack!
The best type of crack
I beg to differ 😏
LemonChicken then beg
It is so good!!
We call it Christmas Crack too!
The older ladies at my work call this “Chocolate Toffee Wonder”. The first time I had it at a work potluck I was so surprised how good it was!
My mom used to put peanut butter in between 2 ritz crackers and dip it in melted chocolate and let it cool in the fridge and OMG yum 😋
These are my absolute favorite Christmas food of all time!! Possibly my favorite treat in life! I have gotten SO MANY people addicted after they turned up their nose at first!
I’ve made this so many times. They’re great with Graham crackers too.
Would pretzels work too?
@@abbyw9396 maybe, if you use mini pretzels or the square shaped ones. I may have to try that.
We always made it with graham crackers too
@@audreygibson4780 did you use white sugar or brown?
I've made this with the stick pretzels and it worked fine! It was delicious.
I remember first tasting this over 20 years ago. My friend's mom made some and I was shook
This is the one and only recipe I make every year without fail!! It's so affordable since baking can be kind of expensive when added to the cost of all the holiday food, and it has every element that baking should have... buttery, chewy, crispy, sweet... it's so good!! I love making a white chocolate version, too!
My grandmother made this every Christmas since the 1940s! She certainly didn’t call it “Christmas crack” as the newer Pinteresters do - it was simply saltine brittle! 😉
One of my favorite candys taste like a Heath Bar!
My grandma said they used to make this in the 30's and 40's when she was growing up
My grandmother used to make this when I was a child. I never knew it was common in the 30s and 40s but it makes sense!
My grandma used to make it all the time too. She called it Brickle!
@@Hiphop618 I never heard of this until around the '80s.
Oooh, I've made this several times to give as gifts. Everybody loves it and it's so simple to make.
This is one of my absolute favorites! My dad makes it every year for Christmas! 🎅🏻☃️❄️🎄❤️
For those who make this: substitute club crackers for the saltine. They're buttery and layer better.
Sounds delicious 😋
I agree, just sprinkle a tiny bit of salt to replicate the saltiness
I always use Graham crackers but now I’m going to try it your way - that sounds amazing!
What's a club cracker? Sounds unique
@@chanwinsern8814 “Club crackers” are part of the Keebler line of crackers, similar to saltines, but made with butter or some other solid fat. Marketed as a "Light, Flaky, Buttery" snack, they are pretty hefty in terms of calories, but a delicious addition to a simple meal of crackers and cheese with raw veggies or used to make meatloaf or as a crumb coating for meat or fish.
In this application? I think I’ll have to be logical about it and try both recipes. You know, for science...🤓😎😂
This is something I definitely need. But woth dark chocolate and with a touch of coffee
the way she says itadakimasu every time is so cute i cant jgfkgnd
Thanks for sharing my recipe! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
In my house this is called Christmas crack! Lol it is so yummy!
She is literally the cutest elf ☺️
I don't think she's trying to be an elf lol
Awww this is a recipe I learned from a college relationship! The romance failed but the DECADENCE PREVAILED!
Omg this is amazing! I watched this video a few weeks ago and decided I wanted to make it for Christmas this year. I just finished making it today and just tasted it for the first time. It's soooo good! I couldn't get peacans, so instead I used chopped walnuts and almonds. It's really tasty

The jar is the star of the show.😁👍
I dressed up some name brand saltines with Blue Bonnet and gifted them to my mouth.
Straight. Up. Class.
GAGAGAGAGAGA!!! I want to cut my toe nails... NEVER! I am the feet RUclipsr. Thanks for being a fan, dear enz
chef, poet, she does it all
Hi, Emmy! I just had to say that I grew up in Portland, Oregon, and my mom ALSO used to take us to See's Candies once a year! We always went in summer because my family's FAVORITE candy from See's (aside from their California Crunch, which is a close second for us,) is their seasonal "Summertime" chocolates! OMG, they are the BEST! Have you had them?!? If not, you simply MUST try them next time you get a chance! I can eat a whole pound of them to myself, no joke. Haha!
Anyway, I love this video, this is a treat that was very popular to make in my old Portland neighborhood as a kid, so it really takes me back. Thank you for sharing your awesome recipes and videos with the world, and thank you so much for always staying so positive! It really helps me keep my faith in the beauty of humanity nowadays, and I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling this way. You rock! Can't wait to see what videos you have to come!
That’s funny, Emmy lived in Portland for a while too! 😆 Also, I remember going to a see’s up in P town with my aunt years back (I have family there, I’m an Oregon native too).
My family makes this every winter. Not even for a holiday or anything. Just...once winter hits, it's always on the counter. Sooooooooooo good
This was called "Christmas Crack" or "Cracker Cocaine". I've had it twice at parties my mom hosted. I believe there was three whole trays brought once and they were all empty before the party was over. This is the most amazing thing I have ever eaten and I can't wait to make them again!!
These are classic student living snacks! So glad to see Emmy bringing this back here!
If it was me with the jar focusing, I would have used that as an excuse to make another batch *cough* I mean reshoot! Love the sound effects.
I would love to see more Christmas candy/treat/cookie recipes this year since most of us are spending more time at home. Your mashed potato fudge & saltine toffee are perfect!
I never tried the fudge, but used to make potato candy by mashing a large potato while hot and stirring in 2 cups powdered sugar and 1 C. peanut butter. Let it cool and form into balls that can be rolled in chopped peanuts, cocoa powder, coconut or dipped in melted chocolate.
I’ve swapped the saltines for Ritz when I didn’t have any and it was also so yummy 😋
You know what’s great is that whenever Emmy does decide to use sound effects it is always hilarious 😆 I love her sense of humor 😄🥰
I make these every Christmas with graham crackers (they performed better for me than saltines) and no chocolate - just a little sea salt sprinkled across the top as soon as they come out of the oven. They’re always the best after sitting for at least 24 hours in a container. 😊 ETA: But I LOVE seeing how Emmy does hers, as I love how she does everything! ❤️
We call it Cracker Candy in our family! I've also heard Christmas Crack lol. I look forward to it every holiday season 🤗
emmy i can’t quite explain how much joy and ease this video gave me. you’re a blessing!❤️
My bestie makes these. She calls it Christmas Crack. Lol. U can top it with crushed soft candy canes 2
May I ask what is a soft candy cane? Never heard of that before, interesting, and sounds like a wonderful tasty addition to this already fabulous recipe. Mmmmm.
My grandma used to make this all the time around Christmas, she passed on new years of last year. Thank you for reminding me to make this for my sisters
I make this every year and I have never heard a complaint. Everyone LOVES this stuff!
Oh, and mom couldn't find saltines when she was living in Europe when I was in college, so she tried with lots of different plain crackers she could find living in Belgium.
I live in the Netherland and we definitely have saltines. They're usually called mini-crackers
Finally, I have a use for saltines besides crushing them and breading chicken with the crumbs!
My mom has always made this around Christmas time and it was a highly coveted snack on our household lol. I have asked her several times for a recipe (bc i am a rule follower who needs recipes) and she says she just wings it. Happy to finally have a recipe from you Emmy!!!
Memories of sweet trays made by my great grandmother's friends in Nova Scotia!
And I was just thinking I needed to find a recipe for this! You read my mind!
SUGAR SHINGLES!!!!
Among other names...
My step grandma and I made these together the first time I met her. I love to bake so it was a great first impression. She uses graham crackers instead of saltines. I should make it soon, it's always a hit.
Every Year Christmas baking is a hit in our house, seen this video and added it to our baking list since it look fast and easy. WOW! This was a HUGE hit.... I’ve never had this either🤣 I decided to mix both the salt and pecans since I couldn’t decide... it was a sweet, salty, nutty mix and ohhh sooo good! Thank You Emmy for an easy follow recipe and sharing your lovely self with all of us... Merry Christmas!
I grew up making these! My mom taught me how. We called them soda cracker cookies. I make them every year. 💙
Christmas crack! 😍😍😍 I love this stuff!!!
This is my absolute favorite candy! In Georgia where I grew up, we always called it "pine bark candy" because the shards were reminiscent of the bark from our great Georgia pines.
I’ve used this recipe for a couple of years, and I’m back for a refresher. It’s delicious!
I saw saltines and candy in the title and KNEW it had to be Christmas Crack yasss! 😂
Just been quarantined with my daughter today, we'll definitely try this to lighten the mood of being stuck home for 2 weeks. Thanks Emmy
Your family must be the most happy family ever cause you always cook delicious stuff
Thèse have ALWAYS been one of my family’s FAVORITE easy desserts for picnics, parties or any type of gathering! We love them so much and have been making them for years! 10/10 would recommend dessertt
I just made this saturday!!! My mom recommended it to me. She calls them Christmas Crack. Or Christmas Crackers!
This looks weird but good. I just can’t stop thinking of Where’s Waldo because of your hat and glasses. Lol
YES! 💖💖 I just made this a couple weeks ago after my sis begged my for it 😆😆. So simple and DELICIOUS. This is what I'm giving everybody for Christmas this year
Awww we make Holiday Crack every single Xmas..so freaking goooooood 😋
I've never made this but I'm so tempted to!
Christmas crack. My fav
That's what we've always called it.
Yep I saw it on Tiktok by the same name lol
That is what we call it!! or Ten Minute Toffee.
The woman who used to make this for me around this time passed away a few years ago.... I’ll always thank her for showing me this stuff existed...
Thank you very kindly for your sweet videos I enjoy them, you are delightful,it is peaceful and your treats are delicious!
I’ve had this before. We called it Christmas Crackers or Christmas Crack. And like you I had it in college too.
I literally just made this the other day. You read my mind. Emmy weird request but I'd love it if you tried some Gullah Geechee food sometime! We're a less known African Diaspora nation but our food is amazing with rich history. I think you'd love it ^.^
I am Geechee what are you requesting?
I made this last year and stacked them into little see-thru gift bags with ribbons and EVERYONE was addicted! Great Yummy Gift!
When I'm depressed i always find your video and your personality lifts my mood up
me: [reads comments]
am I the only one who DIDN'T have this growing up? this is the first I've heard of it, although it sounds amazing.
I'm in my 30s and just found out about this a little over a year ago. It's amazing.
A coworker brought me some for the first time in my 20's. Emmy is not exaggerating the deliciousness, its SO GOOD. I can wait to make some.
Nope! My family was born under a rock lmao I’ve never had this either!
You might just be younger than many of us...
Update: I made it and it was delicious! Saltines are better than club crackers btw.
Up next how to turn a pincone into an entire Christmas dinner
Emmy is magical but not THAT magical!
Oh yes she is!
Your excitement warms our souls
My grandma used to make those and chocolate dipped ritz/pb cracker sandwiches for Christmas when I was little. I remember then always being super cool and yummy
Imagine being Emmy's college roommate! 😆 As a student, I'm kinda curious about Emmy's other staple college recipes 🤔
Maybe crushed peppermint on top instead of sea salt?
That would be a good holiday version for sure
If I were to use crushed peppermint canes/candies, I’d probably use white chocolate with a drop or two of peppermint extract (I’ve never used it, but I’ve heard it’s super potent) to heighten the peppermint flavor.
@@zrobeast Would recommend, as my old workplace did this with the homemade Peppermint Bark!
Peppermint extract if not diluted to a hilarious extent will taste bitter and very, very, *very* minty. Just a little too much will basically taste like toothpaste.
You can also do crushed M&Ms, especially Christmas green and red ones.
I too loved the clean white and black design of the See’s Candy stores where I grew up in Hawaii. I loved their little chocolate or caramel lollipops. We called this recipe Almond Roca, and I haven’t made it since the early 90’s. Thanks for the flashback.
Christmas Crack!! So good! Also really good on matzo crackers for passover or easter! :)
