Behold the Sweetness!
Here’s a peek at what you’ll be savoring!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 sleeve of saltine crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate—your choice!)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or leave them off if you’re feeling nut-less)
- Optional: A sprinkle of sea salt for that extra pizzazz!
Instructions to Yumminess:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (that’s about 200°C for you non-Fahrenheit folks). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup—trust me, you’ll thank yourself later!
- Now, lay those saltine crackers flat on the baking sheet. Cover the whole sheet for a cracker kingdom!
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Stir until it reaches a bubbling boil (but don’t burn yourself, hot butter is a real-life horror movie moment).
- Pour that heavenly concoction over your saltine empire, spreading it evenly. Make sure every cracker is covered in this sugary goodness!
- Pop the baking sheet in the oven for about 5-7 minutes. You want your butter and sugar mix to bubble like a cauldron of holiday cheer!
- Once it’s done bubbling, remove it from the oven and immediately sprinkle those chocolate chips on top. Wait a minute or two for them to melt, then spread the chocolate across like you’re frosting a cake.
- If you’re feeling extra fancy, sprinkle on those chopped nuts and a touch of sea salt, because who doesn’t like a little crunch?
- Let it cool completely (if you can resist the temptation) and then break it up into delightful pieces. Store in an airtight container or share with your friends—if you’re in a generous mood.
And there you have it, a holiday treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat! This Christmas Soda Cracker Candy is bound to become a cherished tradition in your home. Happy munching!
