Saltine Cracker Candy makes the perfect gift for the holidays. Candy making doesn’t get any easier than this! This easy toffee candy is covered in chocolate and pecans and it is positively addicting. You might also know it as Christmas Crack and the name suits it well.

The only ingredients you need to make this sweet treat are Saltine crackers, butter, brown sugar, and chocolate chips, plus pecans if you want to use them.

The crackers give it a fabulous light and crunchy texture.

Just lay the crackers in a single layer in a jelly roll pan lined with aluminum foil. Melt the butter with the brown sugar in a saucepan. Pour it over the crackers. Bake for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top and place the pan back in the oven for a minute or two to melt the chocolate chips. Then spread the chocolate in a nice, smooth layer and sprinkle on the pecans.

Chill for a few hours and then break into pieces. That’s the fun part. Along with eating it. 🙂

You can leave off the nuts. Or try decorating them with crushed candy canes or red and green M&M’s for a festive holiday look.

Get ready for this stuff to disappear. Saltine Cracker Candy is so rich and buttery. It just melts in your mouth!
