Thank you for these recipes . Plus, I'm a new subscriber, never had this, and I'm 58 , I've made bark , chocolate with nuts , but never this, I made a big pan from Nordic ware, which has been made in the USA since 1946 A pan size 21 in x 15 in x 1 inch lip . I made 1/2 of the pan with only the Carmel & pecans , the other side with the Carmel, pecans and Chocolate smeared it's in frig now , I can't wait to taste , my husband doesn't care for alot of chocolate, but I do , plus I can give some to my Oldest Son , Dil and 2 granddaughters ages 11 & 10 . Looking forward to watching your other content , many look so good , Great idea to also give the recipe with plain sugar also , with so many shortages these days . God bless you & your family Mrs josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏

[@kathleendraper5704]

Thos is my 1st year to make Christmas crack , I made bark for the 1st time & Green Grinch fudge for the 1sg time this year. I usually just make fudge...1 can sweetened condensed milk & 2 cups chocolate chips melted in microwave n stirred every 30 seconds. I also made pretzel, rolo pecans candies. And after Santa face sugar cookies & chocolate chip cookies, im going to try and make cowboy candy, pepper jelly & jalapeño/Cheddar bread

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Sounds great!😁😁

[@violasbakedandcookeddeligh1596]

Those all look yummy 😋 I can tell they’re addicting!!

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Thanks! They really are!😁😁

[@suecarter1274]

Wow I've always used a jelly roll pan when I make what you call crack the first time I ever had this was back in the 1980s in Louisiana I went to a church dinner where I was conducting a blood drive for the local blood bankn your praline version was called Sugar Suicide by the little white haired lady who told me it was her dessert. Yikes! 2 weeks later I went to potluck at a friend's house and I took 2 batches of it and 2 different men tasted it and exclaimed who made that I want to marry her I had to leave the room and I swore the hostess to secrecy. Been a favorite of mine for a very very long time

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Lol what a story!!😂😂

[@MamusTreatsandDesserts]

Thank you for this sweet Christmas cracks. Happy sweet tooth.

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Thank you!😁

[@CooksCreationswithme]

All looks too yummy

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Thank you😁😁

[@jointcerulean3350]

This is the kinda snack to have while climbing Everest, alot of Calories presumably, intriguing food, it’s like softer toffee?

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

The caramel part is chewy and the top and bottom are crunchy. Perfect combo😁😁

[@jointcerulean3350]

Nice!👍

[@pamelahawn9300]

I think this is a good concept. My question is,,, why no chocolate? Pralines always have chocolate. I am not sure if you could just spread the chocolate chips on the hot carmels or heat up the chips and spread like frozting?

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Hi. Where I live, we have never added chocolate to pralines, but you certainly could if you wanted to😊

[@bluetadpole2127]

My mom makes crack everyday with no avail. She keeps making it, it's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. THERE IS NO ESCAPE, CRACK IS OUR LIVES.....

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

😳😂

[@kubiknancy]

Great video thanks. What size cookie sheet do you use? It looks smaller than a standard full sheet. Thx!

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Thanks! I believe it’s a 9x13. It’s not the big one😁😁

[@hoperappold2872]

Prob. Named crack bcuz its so addictive..js

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

Probably so!😁😁

[@Jesuslovesme8]

Have you ever used butterscotch chips?

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

I haven’t, but I bet it would be delicious!😁😁

[@Jesuslovesme8]

@@TalesFromAnEmptyNest my sons will not eat chocolate so I thought maybe this might be good with butterscotch. Personally I’m a choc fan!

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

@@Jesuslovesme8 I would try it! Make them some with butterscotch and make you some with chocolate😂😂
