Just because I now have Christmas on the brain and with Christmas comes lots of food, yummy food, I figure we need to share our fav recipes. So is your recipe a HO HO GO a smart, healthy option for everyone or a HO HO NO?

This is my must make list and yes, it is a HO HO NO. I always make this recipe for Pot Lucks or package up is tins, or jars as a great gift. I received this recipe from a friend of a friend a few years back since then I have seen it with different names, but think that Crack fits, since you can’t stop at one piece.


Christmas Crack Recipe

1 cup butter (do not use margarine - this is not a healthy recipe)
1 cup packed brown sugar(can be dark or light)
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips(Dark & milk chips work)
1 1/2 sleeves Saltine crackers(try graham crackers for a different flavor)
1 cup of chopped nuts (pecans, almonds, or peanuts… or no nutless)
Preheat oven 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet (the pan/sheet should have a rim so that it can hold the goodness in) with aluminum foil. I also spray the foil with cooking spray, just to prevent any sticking. Next, line foil with rows of Saltine crackers.
Next, melt the butter and combine it with brown sugar in a small sauce pan. Bring to boil and boil for two minutes. This now caramel syrup will be very hot so be careful. Pour the caramel evenly over Saltines and bake for 10 minutes.
Immediately after removing from the oven, pour the chocolate chips over the crackers. Let stand for two minutes or until chips are soft. Spread the chocolate as evenly as possible over the crackers and then top with the nuts. Refrigerate until hard. Break into pieces.
