when I make this, I use the Keebler Club crackers, since they have that buttery taste, I also cook pecan pieces in the butter/brown sugar mixture/ I agree - Ghirardelli chocolate chips bring it to a higher level
Oh My Goodness...... I know those crackers and I am going to have to grab some to try that I bet that's even another level of amazing!
I was thinking it was odd that he preferred "Ghirardelli" chocolate, but uses saltine crackers. I agree that Keebler Club Crackers would be so much better. Might as well go all out on the crackers. LOL!
Good idea! I'm going to try it this way this year

OMG...DUDE USE A WOODEN SPOON
METAL TO METAL 😟
I also use chopped pecans!
I just made 3 batches by request for Thanksgiving at relatives house 3 hours away. We use matzoh and I prefer the lightly salted. I use a 12x16 cookie sheet pan with sides, line it with foil for minimal cleanup but then put parchment paper on top of the foil. I don’t have to spray it and the candy never sticks. I put a generous cup of chocolate chips on as soon as I take it out of the oven and in about 5 minutes I can easily spread the chocolate as the caramel has hardened a bit. One box of matzoh crackers will make 2 sheets with some leftover pieces. We call it matzoh crack. My husband already took 6 goodie bags to his coworkers plus one for himself. When breaking the pieces, I collect the crumbs and use them for ice cream sprinkles. I put layers into boxes and since it can still be warm in our area I place wax paper between the layers. The other family members use regular crackers but prefer the matzoh that I use.
OH MY .......Ice cream sprinkles I have to try that lol
The sound of that spoon was driving me 😵💫😖
Yes! Geez Louise sir please buy a silicone covered wisk or even a spatula. . Not metal on metal if you want people to watch your videos.
I assure you it bothered me just as much while editing lol NOTED!
ME ALSO! I commented on it!
Me too… wooden spoon?
I'll never touch a metal spoon again lol I swear!
Might need to make 2 batches of this! 1 for the kids & 1 with infused butter😋
😮 You, my dear, are the kind of people we need more of! I’m gonna make a batch at the Airbnb when my best friend and I head to Colorado for her 50th birthday in January! 🤩😍
Spot on! I'd make a 3rd so after you have batch 2 you'll have some you can just munch on lol otherwise it could get dangerous!
Thank you for sharing!! This looks absolutely delicious!! I will have to try this using different crackers to see what my family likes the best!!
Thank you so much for the reminder recipe(favorite recipe from my husband's childhood)!! Will make it soon!
Simple and amazing!! I enjoy it plain too, or with chopped nuts and/or toffee bits
What a great gift idea! I spread peanut butter between Ritz crackers and dip in chocolate candy melt, place on cooling rack to set up and dry, and everybody loves these, there are NEVER any leftover! Try them out for yourself. I'm going to make this saltine/caramel/chocolate recipe for my family! Thanks for sharing!
That sounds delicious... lol! I'm going to try it.
yea that sounds amazing ill have to give it a try!
You won't be disappointed and neither will your family, and it much more fun when you've got help!
I make those too! But I mix in marshmallow fluff with the peanut butter. They are so good! Last year I didn't get any because everyone ate them all on me. This year I'm keeping half of them for myself. haha
My favorite thing ever!! My step mom made these for Xmas every year and that was it, I needed!!! Them for my present!! Which she would give me a tin even after she stopped baking💜💜💜. Although she put walnuts on top!!
I would be pumped if I got a tin of this for Christmas lol
I make these every year. The only thing I do differently is when the chocolate is still melted on top I put crushed pecans on top. Then put it in the fridge. O YEAH. My kids and myself love this stuff. Enjoy
I love this stuff but haven't had it since I was a kid (usually on a special occasion, like Christmas). Thanks for posting! ❤
Happy holidays! Hope you get to make some and taste that nostalgia!
I made this over the holidays & people raved about it.
And yes, it is so easy.
Thanks
I got this recipe from a parenting website years ago. I made it . Omgosh they don’t call it Christmas crack for nothing. It’s so good. Thanks for sharing.
That is awesome! It's too good not to share!
It looks addictive 💕
Thank you going to add this to my goodie table and bags for the holidays 🙂
I'm sure anyone would be thrilled to get a goodie bag with that in it!
It is addicting , I am on to my second batch for gift giving :)
Thanks! I love this stuff! I call it Poor Folks Heath Bars! Excellent and super easy!
My daughter's friend brought some over last Christmas. I had no idea they were this easy to make! So delicious!
They are! That adds to how dangerous they are lol way too easy to make!
Yum. Got my ingredients yesterday. Going to make some & share for Christmas. ❤️
Looks easy and delicious!!
Gotta mention how endearing it was hearing him enjoy his creation 😁
*Mmm, mmm* Made me wanna jump in there for some, too.
😁 It's definitely both those things! It does cause some involuntary sounds lol!
Thank you for such a great and easy way to make this Christmas/Holiday favorite…you made making this candy seem uncomplicated 😊
Thanks so much 😊 Happy Holidays!
My mouth is watering!
My late Mom would make these and they were always a hit🎄
Always a Hit!
Even with the metal spoon this was very ASMR 😆 I came here to make Christmas Crack and left with no anxiety. Thank you bro! 😊 God bless
Haha good to hear!
This sounds so good, I'm liking the pot used here. The rim of the pan is surprising ..definitely liking this man's style.!
Glad you like it!
I’ve been looking for this recipe. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy!
I love this guy! Easy to understand and great recipe.
Thanks! Appreciate it!
One of my favorite holiday recipes!
Mine too!
I like the Ghirardelli chips because they don't have whatever Nestles puts on theirs to keep them from melting when you put them in chocolate chip cookies.
Really though! Chocolate should melt!
Do you the semi sweet or milk chocolate ones. I got both. Does it matter?
@@milissas.8364 either will work I go semi because the rest is so sweet but still great either way!
@@midcoastmunchies okay, Thank you
Thank you for being so easy to understand Simple recipes need to be simple thank you
Thank you so much I have had these before but didn’t have the recipe…I will definitely be making these💖💖😴
Nnmk
Thank you for a great video. I will be make this. Love from the UK ❤
Gosh. I went from having never heard of or seen this sweet treat before, to seeing TWO videos about it in one week! I have a work holiday party next week... maybe I should make it!
That's a good call I bet It would be a hit!
@@midcoastmunchies I think I'll make it! 🙂 A few quick questions though 1) is the treat not overly sweet? I'm a bit nervous about all of the brown sugar. I feel like it would be a sugar overload. 2) How much of a salt contrast does the cracker give? I feel like the only way this much sugar could be added together is if there was a decent contrast.
Thanks!
I use semi sweet chocolate and not too much of it, that helps balance it also as the chocolate starts to cool sprinkle a little extra coarse or flakey salt that would also help but it is a sweet 😋 so it will be sweet but I think it has a good balance especially with a little extra sprinkle of the salt
@@midcoastmunchies That's a great suggestion. Ok. I'm gonna give it a try. I'm just hoping that if I make it people will eat it all... bc if it comes home with me I knooooow I'll eat it all, and I desperately do not want that to happen. HAHA. Thanks again!
Looks good! I'm gonna share this. Thanks! 😎🎄
It's so good! Careful it's dangerous didn't even last 2 nights around here lol
@@midcoastmunchies haha! It will be the same at my house 😁
I love this recipe! My grandma always made hers using Ritz crackers. It gives a bit of a softer crack and chew so if you have sensitive teeth that may be an option 😊 Yours looks delicious though! ❤
Love this! I once made it using matzas, that was all I had in the house, it was just as good as using regular crackers. It's definitely addictive!
This the season....this is my ultimate favorite treat...saltines all the way!!
You know what's up!
Looks delish. I think I will try it but put some pecans on there as well. Yum, thanks.
Hope you enjoy!
Hi, nice recipe and looks very tasty
Thanks a lot
Thanks so much. Looks yummy!
You're welcome hope you enjoy!
Your channel is awesome!
Thanks so much!
I make it with matzo crackers....they are thinner and more delicate than the saltines - but anything with melted butter, sugar and chocolate is going to be delish!
Yum that just leaves more room for sugar and chocolate lol
One of my fave recipes to make during the holidays. We call it fake Skor bars but also Christmas Crack as well. Definitely 100% better with saltine crackers.
Got me googling skor bars now lol
@@midcoastmunchies It's a Canadian thing. 😂 But these taste just like one.
Has anyone tried Ritz?
@@das3373 It's not as good in my opinion. Salted saltines is much better.
@@mamalipster6923 But I thought everything was better on a Ritz lol
Thank you, I made this and omg so good however addicting 😎🤣😂😂
Welcome!
Saltines, caramel, and chocolate. 🤤
Pretty cool, the combination is endless.
Id use shortbread cookies to make it more like a Twix!
That sounds great!
Ewwwwwww, Yummy!! I'm Gnna try this!❤❤✌, Blessings n Peace To You All
Happy Holidays! It's super yummy hope you enjoy!
I've never seen anything like this. Can't wait to try it!
I can't wait for you to try it! Super good!
I know what you're getting in your Christmas 🎄 stocking 🧦...... no, not a lump of coal.....a wooden spoon! LOL 😉 ........ Looks yummy 😋! Thank you for sharing this recipe. Merry Christmas 🎄☃️❄️ and Happy New Year 🎉🥂🎇.
Never had it, but I will soon! Thank you!
Good call!
Tank you for sharing!
Looks delicious! PLEASE use wooden or plastic spoon. That metal spoon is like scratching on blackboard with nails
Im on it!
Yum yum yummy 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍can’t wait to make it
It's so good!
Once boils. Don’t touch for 3 min. Xnay on the scratching of the pot. Great recipe
Thank you will do!
This dessert looks delicious 😋 😍 😊
Thank you 😋 It was!
Great video !!!!
Thanks!!
Yum!!! I bet you could use white chocolate chips and scatter red and green sprinkles over that!!!
I think you're onto something!
Hey, necessity is the mother of invention, right!?! And good munchies!😁
And, that is why it's called "crack" very addictive.
Very!
Looks great
Thanks!
I used gluten free Schaar Table Crackers, added a little carmel extract, used 70% dark cocoa chips and topped with chopped pecans and a pinch of course sea salt. I cut mine so they are all uniform in size. I made it for church. It was so good I ended up eating the whole thing in 2 days. I stored in fridge to keep fresh and so I wouldn’t see it on the counter. ( I hope they serve this in heaven. 😂)
Use graham crackers but hit the caramel layer with some sea salt. Yummy!
Amazing I always wanted to learn to make this stuff
Go for it! It's so good!
I like QUICK and SIMPLE recipes like this one. Thank you. Someone suggested turning the crackers with the salted side DOWN. Gonna try THIS! Make more simple stuff for us but DON'T use METAL spoon! PURTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON IT!!
Thank you so much I plan on It! I also plan on never touching another metal spoon in my life after this lol!
I'm going to make this today. I have had this before. And it is really good.
But today I am going to try something different. I'm going to substitute the chocolate morsels with Butterscotch morsels . I do believe that this will work very well with the saltiness of the crackers . I also intend to make this recipe using Graham crackers. And once I have my Carmel base applied, Sprinkle with Sea Salt. Then use Peanut butter morsels for the top part. I anticipate that this version will be undeniably delicious ! I'm loving this Crack Candy recipe. It is so diverse and many versions can be made to your liking.
I'm also currently thinking on how to make a version of this using White Chocolate. Does anyone have any ideas ? Hmm . Maybe Ritz crackers ? We'll see !
This all sounds amazing! 👏
@@midcoastmunchies Thanks ! I'm all about making & having some Christmas Munchies !
Just so you know. RUclips suggested your video to me. So they are putting it out there. Good Luck on your channel !
And Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Hey thanks alot! Happy holidays!
If you use graham crackers, you can sprinkle the chocolate layer with sea salt.
YES! THE GOOD ONES!
Yea being that it makes up a third of it, you want some tasty chocolate!
Yummy!
It was!
I have to try this!
I like cinnamon grahams sometimes, saltines are a fav
I've been known to munch on cinnamon grahams on occasion soooo goood!
These are a huge favorite in our house. You can top with nuts or sprinkles.
Easy fix. Christmas crack. I going to make for one of my gatherings. Ho Ho Ho!!!
Pretzels would be a tasty version too!!
I 200% agree!
spreadin that chocolate like yummmmmm
I hope he licked the spatula when he was out of the camera's view! I know I would have.
You know it ;)
The way we do it is to add toasted pecans on top before the chocolate cools. Also, I use Ritz crackers.
Oooo I bet the Ritz are good too!
You are right about the spoon
Must try this
You should! It's so good!
I can’t wait to try this!
I wonder if marshmallow spread would taste good under the chocolate …?
That sounds good but also maybe difficult to pull off maybe easier sprinkling with mini marshmallows or maybe heat up or thin marshmallow spread and drizzle ontop maybe
@@midcoastmunchies great idea, thanks 🙏
I add mini-marshmallows over top after all the steps...just so they bubble and turn tan. The crumbly debris after pieces are taken is perfect as ice cream topping.
Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top while chocolate is still warm!!!
We do toasted chopped pecans on ours…. And a dash of sea salt
Also sounds delish!
I found that the milk chocolate morsels does not set well even after being in the frig-- I have better luck with the semi sweet chocolate morsels. That being said - these are delicious.
Yah!!!
You could also sprinkle the warm chocolate with pistachio nut pieces or any other nuts before refrigerating
You could add a billion different toppings to this and make many different tasty versions!
Top with:
Crushed candy canes
Pretzels
Or
Peanut butter and pnutbtr pretzels
Or
Nutella and toasted hazelnuts..
Or...
It's so easily adaptable!
OR ALL OF IT MWHAHAH
Pretzels instead of crackers. And then white chocolate chips. That is the best
That does sound good!
Aussies: ABC personalities/podcasters Annabel Crabb & Leigh Sales (Chat 10 Looks 3) published a similar recipe, think they called it chocolate crack.
I have made these with the square pretzels on the bottom, then sprinkled with candied bacon.
You're speaking my language! Candied bacon vanilla ice cream is my jam! Ooo then with some some of that crumbled ontop woooo my imaginations going wild 😆
Work with me here for a moment - I made this and it came out crunchy like a heath bar ( which I loved! ) but the smoke alarm kept going off from the oven. Right now I'm mobility impaired and hopping between fanning the alarm and the oven took its toll. Instead I would like to use a heat gun for embossing, they get really hot. If you are still with me and aren't rolling your eyes while you roll on the floor laughing at me, I truly would like your opinions!
If it came out hard that would mean too hot or on the heat too long and definitely nothing should be smoking so I'd use half the heat and less time during any of those steps if you try it again
You can also use graham crackers instead of saltines & add chopped nuts to the caramel layer.
NEEDS MORE CHOCOLATE CHIPS, MORE ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can't say no to cute dogs so more chips it is lol!
Mom made these as a candy bar along with frosted graham crackers, poor mans goodies!
I was always taught to do with what you have and turned out alot of poor man goodies are reallly good lol
Christmas crack needs Christmas sprinkles, crushed peanuts, coconut etc on top as soon as the chocolate is melted and spread
I'm sure it's good with the extras I really like it as is, sometimes simple is good let's you taste the caramel and chocolate with a little salty crunch from the crackers 😋
If you reverse the crackers, so the salty top is on the bottom, they taste better!
Does the caramel part stay gooey at room temperature or crunchy?
I mean not really gooey, but sort of chewy?
yes it usually comes out as a soft but stable consistency !
@@midcoastmunchies thanks for the reply! That’s exactly what I was hoping for!
Oh my… I never heard about this recipe till last week and then over the weekend somebody gave me a tin box of it! I never mentioned anything to them! Well it confirms my fears I cannot have that stuff in the house 🤣 but for two days it was worth it
take graham crackers and cover with caramello bars.heat in oven then spread it over.
Genius! that sounds amazing I love caramellos!
Where I'm from, Christmas Crack has a totally different meaning but the side effects are the same
"Probably the best crack I've her had." Sirrrrrrr🤣
What is the best way to clean the pot?
Fill it with hot water and let sit for 10 mins before cleaning, I use non stick pots for this type of thing if I can for easy cleanup, it all just slides right out leaving a clean pot!
The candy should just be starting to pull away from the sides of the pot when it’s ready to spread on the crackers so not much is left in the pan. Do use a heat resistant spatula to remove it from the pan and spread it. I put water in right away with a squirt of Dawn and let it sit while the crack is in the oven. I put the chocolate chips on immediately and while those soften the pan easily cleans without scrubbing. I use a Calphalon anodized aluminum pot that isn’t nonstick but I imagine that stainless steel would clean as easily. It’s just butter and sugar so the sugar will dissolve or at least soften and the Dawn helps with the butter. I usually have just a few streaks of candy so if you have a lot you might have overcooked it.
With a spatula and lick when not too hot! Yummo
How about making it with graham crackers and finish the top with a nice flakey salt? Or alternate the type of crackers on the bottom. You know one graham one saltine etc.? Shoot,the skies the limit with this type of recipe
You can take this pretty far I've also seen mini marshmallows, I think that would be my fav!
I would like to have this peppermint or candy cane flavored, could you stop the chocolate w crushed candy canes?
You sure could i'm not sure how much it would clash with the caramel flavor, you maybe better off just making a peppermint bark of sorts instead but it's worth a try!
@@midcoastmunchies good point. No mint.
Does anybody know how long you can make this in advance? I was told 2 wks in fridge? To me that sounds like a long time??
I personally have not ever had it last more than a few days so I'm not positive but I would say it would be good for a week , 2 sounds a little on the long side the crackers would also probably lose their crunch by then aswell!
Some ground pecan and cake colored chocolate would make it decorative also with the graham crackers how about miniature marshellos chocolate hershey special dark make consour taste s'mores
yum!
I just watched Paula Deen make it. You need to see hers. Oh my goodness. You need to try hers.
I would top it with some chopped macadamians, pecans or peppermint.
I'd go for the macadamians definitly sounds good!
