Christmas Crack...an addicting holiday treat!!!

Well the name of this recipe is probably not the prettiest description however, it is the most realistic. This tasty treat is so addicting you need to give it all away immediately after baking or you will eat it all yourself.  Believe me when I say that I know this from experience.  Thank you Kristin for introducing me to this amazing concoction of deliciousness. 

Did I mention it is a piece of cake to make?

Here goes...

Ingredients:
Saltines crackers (1 sleeve or so)
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 cups brown sugar
12 oz. pkg. chocolate chips
Chopped mixed salted nuts (you may need to chop yourself)

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 400°

Lay crackers side by side in a 10"x15" cookie sheet with an edge. 

Bring butter and sugar to a boil and continue boiling until it comes to the soft ball stage (you are at the soft ball stage when you drop a small amount of the sugar syrup into a bowl of cold water and it forms a soft flexible ball)

Pour toffee mixture over the crackers.  Bake for 5 to 7 minutes (keep a close eye so it does not burn).

Remove from oven.  Sprinkle with chocolate chips letting them melt for a minute before spreading with a knife.  Sprinkle with nuts.  Let harden and cool (I put mine in the fridge for the afternoon) Break or "crack" apart and viola...Christmas Crack! 

I'm baking up a new batch in a day or so but I'm changing it up with some white chocolate chips and some crushed up candy canes for a little Christmas Crack a la peppermint bark...this should be over the top crack-a-lishous!

Enjoy!!
