CHRISTMAS CRACK

Steps:

• Line 1 large or 2 small jelly-roll pans with aluminum foil, spray with nonstick spray and arrange the saltines salt-side down in a single layer.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together and boil until it turns a caramel color, about 2-3 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add one teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
• Pour over the crackers, covering them evenly.
• Put the pan into the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until just bubbly, watching carefully.
• Remove from the oven and pour the chocolate chips over the crackers.
• When the chips melt a bit, spread them over the crackers with a knife.
• Cool completely. You can put the pan into the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to get completely cold.
• Break up into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a jelly roll pan with parchment or wax paper.
• Place the saltines neatly in the pan, not overlapping. The pan should hold 40 crackers pretty neatly. I break the last row in half to fit tightly.
• Melt the butter and add the brown sugar. Keep on med-hi to hi and stir constantly for 5 minutes exactly.
• BE AWARE that hot sugar is really fracking hot. Don't consider touching it.
• Pour the sugar mixture onto the saltines and spread out over all the crackers. I use a frosting spreader. Use a fork to move any wayward crackers back in line.
• Put in in the oven for 3-5 minutes.
• Pull out and let sit for a minute, then empty the bag of chocolate chips all over the top. Back in the oven for a minute, then spread out the now melty yumminess.
• Sprinkle some salt on top. This is optional. In some universes, I guess.
• Put it in the freezer for 30 minutes or let it sit out for hours. It's a pretty easy decision for me, really.
• Break up into cracker sized pieces.
• Hide in the closet and eat 10 pieces before letting anyone know you made them.

CHRISTMAS CRACK RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a 18x13 baking sheet with parchment paper. Place all of the saltines salt side up on the baking sheet in an even layer. Add the sugar, butter, and peanut butter to a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. When the mixture is fully boiling, stop stirring and allow to boil for three minutes. Carefully pour the boiling mixture over the crackers and put in the oven for five minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Return to the oven for 1 minute. Spread the chocolate chips out into an even layer and sprinkle the m&ms over the chocolate. Let cool on the counter for about 20 minutes. Place in the freezer for an hour and then break apart into small pieces.
