Ingredients
- 2 packages graham crackers
- 1/2 bag toffee
- 1/2 bag m&m’s
- 2 sticks butter
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pans and Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line your baking pans with parchment paper to make sure the final product comes out easily.
Spray the bottom of the pans with nonstick spray to help the parchment paper adhere.
Place graham crackers on top of the parchment paper in a single layer, ensuring they cover the entire pan without overlapping.
Step 2: Make the Butter and Sugar Mixture
In a saucepan, melt 2 sticks of butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until it starts to bubble.
Once bubbling, add 1 cup of packed brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
Continue stirring constantly until the mixture is bubbly and well combined, forming a smooth caramel-like consistency.
Step 3: Pour and Bake
Carefully pour the hot butter and sugar mixture over the graham crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover all of the crackers.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and golden.
This helps the crackers absorb the caramel.
Step 4: Add and Melt the Chocolate
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle 2 cups of chocolate chips over the top.
Turn off the oven but leave the door shut to allow the residual heat to melt the chocolate chips without burning them.
Spread the chocolate evenly once it’s melted using a spatula.
Step 5: Add Toppings and Cool
While the chocolate is still hot and melty, sprinkle your choice of toppings such as toffee bits, M&M’s, chopped nuts, or any desired mix-ins.
Press the toppings gently into the chocolate to ensure they stick.
Allow the “Christmas Crack” to cool completely—this can be done at room temperature or in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Step 6: Cut and Serve
Once the dessert has fully cooled and the chocolate has set, cut it into bite-sized pieces for serving.
Enjoy your festive and delicious treat, perfect for the holiday season or any time you crave something sweet and crunchy!
