One of the best things about your videos is how real they are. I'm a messy cook, and while I'm not saying you are too, it's nice to see spills on the counter and stove tops occasionally, rather than the super staged and edited cooking videos typical of YT, cuz...real life.
I totally get it! And I appreciate that! I think that social media always portraying perfection does a disservice to all of us just trying to live our best life ❤️
Girl you apologize in the intro of majority of your videos I’ve seen, you don’t have to apologize to us for things like your hair or not feeling well! We love your videos regardless & typically dont even notice unless you point something out 😊
This is such an underrated channel. You know, I watch a lot of those "Spent $5400 on an advent calendar" videos or the such, and everything is always way more than past my budget. But this feels so much more down to earth.
@@ForeverRememberable I can live vicariously and judge the calendars like "omg, good thing I didn't buy ___ cuz that's not worth it!" as if I could even afford them haha xD
Ohhh, regarding your comments about margarine, back in the day Alton Brown did an episode of Good Eats about that! He made cookies with butter, margarine, and butter flavored Crisco to show how the same recipe came out different with each. Really cool episode
I like to put peppermint patties in my brownies. I pour roughly half of the batter into a baking dish, then, add peppermint patties, just like you did with the Oreos. Top with remaining batter, and bake.
Christmas crack is DELICIOUS! You might not like it because you used margarine. Butter makes all the difference. Please try it again with butter, more chocolate chips and maybe a better quality saltines. I like to use half chocolate chips and half peanut butter chips. My husband and kids devour it.
I might give it a retry with standard ingredients, I can definitely see how it could be good, sadly not everything works when you make it from dollar tree but I think that’s important to share
@@DollarTreeDinners For the holidays it's nice to add festive sprinkles on top of the chocolate when it's still melty. I've seen recipes that add the salt on top, but I never do. I think the saltines add just enough salt to compliment the sweet in the chocolate. 😊👍
It's called crack, because it's addictive...but yes, butter is necessary, rather than margarine. Thank you for sharing!!! Hope you feel much better soon!!
Ma'am, I absolutely do not like cooking when I'm not feeling well, so the fact that you're attempting four new recipes while still not feeling the best, either says something really good about you, or really bad about me 😂❤
I've made those Whip cookies with Orange cake mic, strawberry, and devils food cake. They are literally my new favorite easy cookies. I love them so much. Chewy, soft and light.. so good!
I’ve used all flavors of cake mix. Spice is especially good in the fall with a cup of hot tea. Strawberry, orange, lemon and pineapple are great for summer parties or baby and bridal showers. I’ve also crushed up hard candy or chopped nuts as additions to the cookie mixture.
So, I'm 74 and I have been making the Cracker Candy since my late teens...... The original recipe calls for butter, and does say butter only.... That's the first thing. Also, not enough chocolate chips..... Done right, Cracker Candy (original name) tastes like a Heath candy bar. Yum !
My gramma always made “cake mix cookies” ❤ 1 box any cake mix, 2 large eggs, 1/2 c oil. Mix, roll into balls and we would stick red and green M&Ms or sprinkles on top. 350, 6-10 mins
I hadn't heard that term before either! I don't think I had one of those growing up. Learn something new everyday! I knew the toffee wouldn't work with margarine, but thought maybe it might? Oh well, you tried🤗
I remember taking my then 5 year old child to the grocery store and walking through the "baking aisle". We saw some chocolate chips and they asked to buy them to snack on and I said, those are ingredients! We don't just eat them plain (I probably sounded mortified at the thought!). The ladies shopping around us smiled at me and my kiddo likely was befuddled. Of course at home we would eat a small handful of chocolate chips on occasion, but usually they did go into a recipe...Now, I know the type of household I grew up in! Thx!
I’m was just about to leave to go to DT today when, what’s this? Rebeca has a new video? I better wait…just in case she tells me about something new. Awesome!
I love your videos! As someone who used to work in food service, though, and had it drilled into me, may I suggest you use a spatula when scraping out your bowls? It really does maximize your ingredients. My boss once demonstrated to me how we got another full serving of something out of the bowl when we thoroughly scraped it with a spatula instead of just half heartedly scraping it like I used to do. On a tight budget, that can be important! But that's just a humble suggestion and I hope it comes across in the helpful spirit in which it was intended. If not, ignore me. :)
Thanks Rebecca for the recipes, glad to know about the bark one and glad to see the honesty of you not liking it . I haven't seen that with others not liking something after they made something, so this is good. With working with a budget, not knowing what is good (or not)it's hard to know what to make and who wants to make something and not like it. I appreciate the honesty and integrity of your cooking, the videos, what your view is about what something tastes like, or if it's needs something else in it or you can substitute something in it to either taste better or for it to be less costly. I really appreciate this Thank you. Have a great day and Hope you're feelin better soon. Take care.
I simply use butter flavor crisco in place of butter for most of my cookie recipes and they turn out really good. and i just measure it the same as i would butter.
The recipes look good! I've only had the Christmas Crack and it is delicious 😋. A couple of suggestions, to get a better toffee definitely use butter. Also, I've learned to use a pan the is smaller than a regular cookie sheet or jelly roll pan. I used the bigger pan and had more crackers than toffee. When I used a smaller pan it turned out better. Also other toppings for the Christmas crack are prcans, walnuts or crushed candy canes.
I've seen Christmas Crack before (only a few years ago) and have never tried it. But the first thing I thought was wouldn't a graham cracker be better than a saltine for the base.
It’s the margarine. 2 months ago, I tried to do the same thing and make a pecan pie bark from DT ingredients and the exact same thing happened. It never hardened and was gummy and sticky.
Oh no I’m so sorry! It’s good to know what the culprit was and I did suspect that. I bet I could still make a dollar tree version work though with premade caramels instead
I just made the Christmas c***But I used with squatters and I spent $20 but I did use margin instead of butter because they did not have butter. So i'm hoping it turns out😮
have been binge watching your videos ever since i discovered your channel last week, youre so entertaining and helpful. love your channel and i hope you feel better
I've also been binging them. I spent almost all day today watching the thanksgiving one and the Christmas dinner one and physically writing out ingredients and procedure you did
You did a great job, Just use butter, that's what I use, and have never had a problem. But hey you tried your best, and that's all that matters! Otherwise a win win. Thank you, Love from Debbie and Dexter-Dog my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California.❤❤
I love a center piece of brownies❤. And those whipped cookies could work as a Halloween cookie too for brains 😊😂. I really appreciate your thought browses moments in your videos. The difference between butter and margarine is cooking knowledge gold 👌 🎉
Hi , thank you for trying the strawberry one's. I have been wanting to try these for my husband he loves strawberry. At least I no now to use a hand mixer. Lemon one's also sound yummy.
We are a dairy-free household due to allergies. When I make the saltine toffee (or really anything that needs a "butter" unami) I add 1/4-1 tsp butter extract. I bake with butter flavored popcorn oil for this same reason. Just sharing in case someone actually has to use margarine and not butter.
My mother in law introduced me to christmas crack, and she always added extras like M&M's or other candies. Also I heard it was called "crack" because it cracks apart, but also it's addictive.
Christmas Crack…My people love this dessert so I make it a few times a year. I’ve only ever used margarine without any trouble. I’d suggest cooking the mixture longer to let it properly carmalize and add a splash of vanilla as well. 😋
Maybe this will help. Im sick too. I have a virus infection. Ur inability to decide on the fudge/non fudge made me giggle. It felt good while sick. Thank you for the video 👍
I came from an ingredients household! Crushed ritz and honey on vanilla ice cream, and saltines with cream cheese and shredded cheese, chili flakes microwaved until melted. Also loved snacking on the tiny baking gumdrops.
I made the "S" brownies (lol) yesterday, and they are the best! I also used Dollar Tree ingredients, except i only had butter on hand. I also had to buy the red filled cream oreos, that's all they had. Gives it a nice festive touch! Thank you for sharing! ❤
Oh Rebecca, please try the Crack again with the butter. Christmas Crack is fabulous, you can't leave it alone. Give it another try please. Merry Christmas !!
My mum and her friends, for Xmas crack, used regular butter. Magarine never held up as well. My own mum used Ritz, also. We didn't really eat saltines at my house. Great video!
This has got to be the most unintentionally soothing channel on RUclips. I literally just started this video to wind down before bed instead of ASMR, your voice is so relaxing and the small sounds of cooking with no background music is immaculate lol
sorry your not feeling well. trying to keep myself 100% prior to my daughters surgery next week. We have been dealing with this all year. my poor daughter (f14). ready to have this over. Your videos have helped me with my anxiety levels during her doctor appointments this year. She's is a complex medical case normally and dealing with a rare condition that took like 7 months to figure out what she it was.. so its been a stressfull. Thank you so much again for your videos.
Love easy dessert recipes. Thank you for being real enough to include what didn't work .Growing up poor, my mom only used margarine for baking, And I still use it.
The floozy cookies look amazing! You could even put a variety of cookies or cookies and candy bars. Can you do a video on Starbucks cranberry bliss 😍 I just spent close to $20 on a box of 5 bars ugh I love it though lol
Try the cool whip cookies with a chocolate cake mix next. Chocolate crinkle cookies are my husband's favorite Christmas cookies and I have a feeling the chocolate will work better.
Well, I made Christmas crack for the first time using all the “proper ingredients “. All good quality ingredients. All went will till I topped with chocolate chips. My chips seized. I have never had that happed before. I ended up scraping it off, mixing it with some coconut oil and heating in microwave, stirring the heck out of it. Dumped it out onto my base and spread it out. I am shocked that it did turn out okay. Did not look pretty but taste pretty good. So even after 50 years of baking/ cooking things can still go sideways
I'm doing my baking today. I'm on a break at the moment, to give my back a break. Been at it since about 8:30 this morning and it's 3:40PM right now. First thing I made was the Christmas Candy...that is what I call it, I don't care for the whole "crack" thing, but, I understand why, they are super addictive, as long as you use real butter and not plastic margarine. They came out AWESOME! My hubby will be taking one of the cookies sheets to his Xmas party with his friends tomorrow. I hope they enjoy them. And the other 4 cookies I've made and am currently making.
Do it on a Dime has an awesomely easy dollar tree ingredient fudge recipe. Everybody should try it once it’s so yummy. You might be able to incorporate the multiple colors as well.
Its definitely the margerine. I agree with other people that you should try it again with real butter. Additionally, Christmas crack is the one recipe that i line the pan with foil instead of parchment. The toffee tends to find a way under the parchment otherwise.
Great desserts! When you make a candy, like the toffee on the crackers, you need real butter. Also, a candy themometer is a good idea. Some recipes say to cook it this amount of time, etc... but a thermometer makes sure the candy works and sets up right. I have been making candy for years, and learned by making a lot of mistakes. Also, once you make homemade marshmallows, you will never go back. You may be able to get the ingredients at DT!
We grew up in an ingredient household either...chips and snack items were not a normal thing...but we did always have crackers, bread and peanut butter!
I have made christmas crack before and it turned really good. It didn't taste burnt, but I used just plain old saltines. I agree pretzels would be good.
I'm pausing to say I hope you love the Christmas Crack. It's so delicious, easy, and decorating it has such endless possibilities. Now to go watch your amazement...
I don't know what's better - a new (old?) video. I am glad you included the tiger fudge with this video because it saves me finding it in the older video, the puppy cameos or the recipe names!!! I guess technically we could call the brownies Super NES because of the Oreos. The edge pieces are my favourites. I have one of those trays that makes all edges brownies. I am really glad you posted the Christmas C recipe. I know now go with the better ingredients (sorry Dollar Tree). I'm sorry, the "pause" as you were trying the cookies?? I don't think I have ever seen you make that particular face in all the videos you have published for us. 😊
I saw the "fudge" on a other utube channel. I have been making batches for the last couple months. For $2.50 you get a lot of "fudge". All these recipes look tasty. The "Christmas Crack" is delicious. Thanks for these ideas. I hope you feel better soon.
Rebecca Hi. Hope you feel better. I have watched and enjoy your videos. Today I discovered a Dollar Tree near me that I didn't know existed. It has the plus. I bought the egg rolls, the peppers and onions. and some spices from your videos. You were in my head. It was fun and I will go back when I have more time to search.
Rebecca, it took me 2 Christmases to finally learn how to make Christmas Crack. Butter made the difference. This year I'm using pretzels. Lots of love to you. Get well soon.
Hi, I've been a subscriber for a few weeks now and I just want you to know. I'm so thankful for your channel. I recommended you today in a cheap meal ideas group to which I belong. Merry Christmas!🤗
Try the Betty Crocker “crinkle cookie” recipe with cake mix. 2 eggs, 1/3 c oil and 1 tsp vanilla (or whatever flavor you’re looking for). Same process, but refrigerate for 1 hour before rolling in powdered sugar. My grandkids love helping with them and said the birthday cake ones we made like Grinch cookies (green food coloring and a red m&m for the ❤) were “bangin”😂. I preferred the devils food flavor, but make them small, super rich. I know they don’t have those flavors at DT, but they’re like $1 at Walmart.
The first time I tasted the toffee with the crackers, I called it "holy sh!t" toffee it was so good. I think the butter and the precise recipe would make the biggest difference in the flavor of that. I love the double cookie brownies, too and I also would love an alternate name. EDIT: I was just reading @dilliya comment about liking "a centerpiece of brownies". That's a great name! Centerpiece Brownies!! The Oreos are the centerpiece between the cookie and brownie layers. YUM!
First time I made the Christmas crack I used wax paper. I learned pretty fast that wax paper & parchment are NOT the same lol. It stuck to it and it was such a mess. I have no problems when using the parchment though lol

Yes butter is better in making toffee type things.we don't have cool whip in New Zealand. Our butter price has gone up to nearly $8.50 a block now.

So real. Thanks Rebecca. Now I won’t feel so bad when some of my kitchen adventures don’t exactly turn out as planned.
Another way to make no cook fudge is to melt a bag of chocolate chips and a can of sweetened condensed milk. It keeps well at room temp too!
Both are items that can be purchased at DT. :)
And very easy

Oh no, that tank too is the exact color of your skin. I was so confused at what I was or wasn’t seeing 😂 feel better!
Random suggestion for the brownies; I like to add pretzels in the Oreo layer. Gives a little salty crunch to offset the sweetness.
Love that idea
Soak the oreos in vodka
Or just add salt like you should be doing.
Loveee that!

Its definitely the margerine. I agree with other people that you should try it again with real butter. Additionally, Christmas crack is the one recipe that i line the pan with foil instead of parchment. The toffee tends to find a way under the parchment otherwise.
Yay first comment and top 3 likes. Love this channel. Best to you and your family. Thanks for making this video. Happy holidays!!!!!
Happy holidays!
I would cut the peanut butter/frosting fudge smaller and dip it in chocolate to make creamy center candies.
Great desserts! When you make a candy, like the toffee on the crackers, you need real butter. Also, a candy themometer is a good idea. Some recipes say to cook it this amount of time, etc... but a thermometer makes sure the candy works and sets up right. I have been making candy for years, and learned by making a lot of mistakes. Also, once you make homemade marshmallows, you will never go back. You may be able to get the ingredients at DT!
Those stuffed Brookies look amazing 😊
The red cookies look cute!!
Im loving the longer videos!! Keep up the great work!
Yeah - so happy to see a video. Glad you are feeling better. Take care of yourself!
I hope your feeling better!!! Thank you for your videos. You are a true 💎
I appreciate that! A little better each day
We grew up in an ingredient household either...chips and snack items were not a normal thing...but we did always have crackers, bread and peanut butter!
We called that brownie/cookie/oreo mix Bad girl brownies. 😅 They are delicious!
I love watching you! I learn so much and you always get the creative cooking juices flowing
I have made christmas crack before and it turned really good. It didn't taste burnt, but I used just plain old saltines. I agree pretzels would be good.
I'm pausing to say I hope you love the Christmas Crack. It's so delicious, easy, and decorating it has such endless possibilities. Now to go watch your amazement...
Oh no... I hope you try it again.
I witnessed both the rise and fall of this comment 😂😂
😂I'm glad to hear you'll try again. It really is worth it.@@DollarTreeDinners
Of course, I have nothing against sticky gooey wonder, either.
I don't know what's better - a new (old?) video. I am glad you included the tiger fudge with this video because it saves me finding it in the older video, the puppy cameos or the recipe names!!! I guess technically we could call the brownies Super NES because of the Oreos. The edge pieces are my favourites. I have one of those trays that makes all edges brownies. I am really glad you posted the Christmas C recipe. I know now go with the better ingredients (sorry Dollar Tree). I'm sorry, the "pause" as you were trying the cookies?? I don't think I have ever seen you make that particular face in all the videos you have published for us. 😊
I'd dip those Oreos in some instant espresso for the brownies. It looked so good! All the recipes looked great 🥰
I saw the "fudge" on a other utube channel. I have been making batches for the last couple months. For $2.50 you get a lot of "fudge". All these recipes look tasty. The "Christmas Crack" is delicious. Thanks for these ideas. I hope you feel better soon.
Definitely going to grandmas on Christmas with my “slutty brownies” now 😭😂
The slutty brownies go along with your nekkid-color cami! I had to stare for a REALLY LONG TIME...!
This cracked me up!!! 😂😂😂😂
I love your video. You were very entertaining. I definitely will have to try these recipes. Thank you for being honest when making the videos.
I made the cool whip cookies with vanilla cake mix then tolled in 1 pkg lime jello n half cup powdered sugar.my parents in their 80s want more
Rolled
Thank you for being real ❤
Rebecca Hi. Hope you feel better. I have watched and enjoy your videos. Today I discovered a Dollar Tree near me that I didn't know existed. It has the plus. I bought the egg rolls, the peppers and onions. and some spices from your videos. You were in my head. It was fun and I will go back when I have more time to search.
Rebecca, it took me 2 Christmases to finally learn how to make Christmas Crack. Butter made the difference. This year I'm using pretzels. Lots of love to you. Get well soon.
Hi, I've been a subscriber for a few weeks now and I just want you to know. I'm so thankful for your channel. I recommended you today in a cheap meal ideas group to which I belong. Merry Christmas!🤗
Those Brownies look glorious! I am keen to try them!!!
Looks delicious!😋
Try the Betty Crocker “crinkle cookie” recipe with cake mix. 2 eggs, 1/3 c oil and 1 tsp vanilla (or whatever flavor you’re looking for). Same process, but refrigerate for 1 hour before rolling in powdered sugar. My grandkids love helping with them and said the birthday cake ones we made like Grinch cookies (green food coloring and a red m&m for the ❤) were “bangin”😂. I preferred the devils food flavor, but make them small, super rich. I know they don’t have those flavors at DT, but they’re like $1 at Walmart.
I’d love to see you do a re-do with different ingredients for the crack. I think you’d love it
I added mini marshmallows and some milk chocolate chips and it worked great, didn't have to deal with keep ing it cold!!
The first time I tasted the toffee with the crackers, I called it "holy sh!t" toffee it was so good. I think the butter and the precise recipe would make the biggest difference in the flavor of that. I love the double cookie brownies, too and I also would love an alternate name. EDIT: I was just reading @dilliya comment about liking "a centerpiece of brownies". That's a great name! Centerpiece Brownies!! The Oreos are the centerpiece between the cookie and brownie layers. YUM!
Another name: Chocolate Heaven.
@@yvonnepalmquist8676 That's an idea! I've had something else called chocolate heaven that is ALL chocolate.
Ohhh okay, Triple Chocolate Threat. I've seen the Christmas Crack listed as just Saltine Cracker Candy.@@jejrstans
I want to try the first one, I have a sweet tooth. I also like how clean and neat you do everything. 🙂
First time I made the Christmas crack I used wax paper. I learned pretty fast that wax paper & parchment are NOT the same lol. It stuck to it and it was such a mess. I have no problems when using the parchment though lol
