Fixing My Failed Dollar Tree Christmas Crack!

[@troyarthur9342]

I can't believe anyone would troll such a kind and beautiful person just trying to help people and give good ideas for those of us on a budget.

[@Laguns-ij4hn]

i knr. probably someone who lives in their parents basement and has never paid a bill in their life and is just mean spirited. This Lady is brilliant, honest, thoughtful, and has a beautiful soul and speaks with a normal tone and no speed talking. I like the traditional meals. Traditional meals are not bad and needed for us during certain times. i also like the microwave meals, and different glutten free vids when i see them.. I failed at my first batch of Christmas crack. so this good info. Food snobs don't get the gist of the channel. Keep up the good work!

[@SusanHendrix-e3j]

Exactly

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

@@Quib28292ejej "I wouldn’t know how w trash eats if it wasn’t for her." WTF? Are you always so rude and insulting?

[@jjpetunia3981]

Unfortunately trolls just want to be nasty they don’t care to who. Sometimes it seems they prefer nice people because they generally have more feelings and will be hurt more. It’s sick.

[@georgiaanderson4483]

I agree with what what you said. She does a great job. Please don't listen to the trolls . They couldn't do the job that you do. If they tried, they would have no likes or followers😊

[@megannewell5118]

Awww 13:34 please ignore the trolls!!! The vast majority of us LOVE you!!! I’m so appreciative of the way you do these videos ❤ I’ve been cooking my whole life. My moms the same way. We cook 3 meals a day plus desserts. Most of your tips.. I’m over here nodding along like “yes exactly” but you still find awesome tips that I have never heard of and now have added to my arsenal of cooking skills! I love how you explain things (like why cornstarch based powders need to mix in cold water) bc even though I always knew that… I never really knew WHY. You just do such an amazing job all around and you should be so proud of your channel and all your hard work!! I can’t express enough how grateful I am for all of your content 🎉❤

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

I'm always fearful of even giving suggestions. I would hate to come off critical in anyway. Rebecca's videos are part of my top 5 and the most aligned with opening up creativity with budget (I'm good at the budget part, but my creativity sucks.)

[@stacyrussell460]

@@yvonnepalmquist8676 I agree with your comment in so many ways. I always think my constructive criticism is meant to be more sarcastic but reading it instead of speaking it doesn't always translate well.

[@allisonburany8724]

I think I would prefer pretzels too and dark chocolate I have never seen Christmas crack before so I will make it for the grandkids this year

[@catsemh1948]

YOUR GREAT do not change. I watch everything you make. Do not let the complainers get you down. If they can do better they can start there own channel or not watch. Your just to kind to let anyone put you down.

[@DollarTreeDinners]

Thank you! I appreciate that 🥰🥰

[@KapricornKary]

Here's a tiny bit to help in buying all the food you make. Your hard work is very much appreciated!! Maybe those who arent so nice nice could use a reminder that its the holiday season so have a little grace. ❤

[@DollarTreeDinners]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@Back-handedLuck-ul7ms]

The trolls might actually have to make an effort. Undoubtedly that would be too hard. I love this channel.

[@Gjigfvniyf]

This is so amazing, instead of just subbing butter to make it taste right, you went out of your way to find a dollar tree version that tastes great. This is great for people who live in food deserts/can’t afford butter, your channel is really a great resource

[@DollarTreeDinners]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@gingeramiro9375]

Trolls will be trolls. What else can they be? You keep doing what you're doing - inspiring us with budget friendly meals and especially if someone isn't living in the best of circumstances. You're a joy. Have a beautiful holiday.

[@Kimberly-pi8my]

Adding a little baking soda to the toffee part (after boiling the sugar) REALLY helps! Makes it really crisp instead of hard

[@rnj323]

Define "little".....teaspoon? Tablespoon?

[@lizziemeyer9707]

Based on what I've seen from peanut brittle recipes, I'd start with just a pinch (1/8 tsp or so). I've never done this for Christmas Crack personally, but it would give the toffee an airier quality

[@merrycraker1262]

Great tip, Thanks!!

[@Kimberly-pi8my]

@@rnj323 I use a slightly heaping 1/2 teaspoon per cup of of sugar

[@plumbranch2493]

exactly! You cannot please everyone and never will; when you try and pleas everyone, you please no one.

[@Jana.123.]

I don’t live in the US , we don’t have anything similar to a dollar tree. I like watching your videos because you are a wonderful person and you make an effort to create nice budget friendly recipes. Don’t let anyone make you doubt yourself.

[@jayjayelle]

Same here!!

[@seabliss22]

I'm 61 years old and think you are doing an excellent job. I enjoy watching your videos and often learn at least one new technique. Thank you for all the research you do to make these videos for us.

[@amyxblame439]

I'm glad you reattempted the recipe! In my family we use regular butter and white sugar on the saltines to make it. We also call it "Christmas Bark" instead of crack lol.

[@SharonLaBolle]

LoL that does sound better

[@thatHARVguy]

@@SharonLaBolle I think "crack" is more of a recent thing. For reasons.

[@kenyonbissett3512]

Christmas Bark is very, very addicting!

Yes, I’m old..78, always heard bark instead of crack! Enjoy all your videos! Thank you❤

[@alyskeyes7275]

You are so sweet and just a lovely person. I am in my mid 50s and I am not a dollar tree shopper but I watch your channel because of you and that I have learned things from you that I never knew before! ❤

[@MelissaCaitlin]

Maybe for a non traditional video you could do Christmas appetizers! My family on Christmas Eve just do all finger foods. Meatballs, cheese plates, etc. Maybe something like that? I always watch your holiday videos and love them!

[@moara4144]

Yes. Or maybe a Christmas brunch.

[@vanakistler3950]

That’s what we do too!

[@jejrstans]

That's a fun idea!!

[@zabrinadoyle150]

Your holiday menus look like holiday menus! Most of us enjoy watching whatever you cook and would happily try all of your meals.

[@friedokra4645]

Thank you for the awesome evaluation! It looks like there is definitely a unique recipe for each person depending on their taste & preference. For me, I love the pretzel base with dark chocolate. Thanks again for your well thought out presentation.

[@bobstubesocks]

You are a gem-let the naysayers start their own channel. Also you are so close to 100k! 🎉

[@Trjlal]

“Gem” is the exact, right word 😊

[@EastTexasFoodie]

First of all, GREAT JOB! I didn't believe toffee could be made using margarine. I've only ever used butter. But you proved that it can be done. Also, pretzels are also my favorite in Christmas Crack. Again, super job.

[@jjj7383h]

hi. i have debilitating anxiety disorder. i haven’t stepped foot in a dollar tree in years not because of that but for no reason but i continue to watch because you calm me down and make me feel like everything is okay for the duration of your videos. you have a non judgement view on people that makes us feel safe along with a soothing voice. i just felt like saying that because i want you to realize how you yourself impact people in a positive way.

[@denisei7929]

There are associations where you live where all of us live that will go out and pick up your orders and drop them off for you

[@tinashort9098]

What in the hell??? Whoever is trolling our girl needs to move on!!! Rebecca is a lovely human being and puts so much thought and effort into every video she brings us!!! I’m a 58 yr old granny that has been cooking since I was born and I learn something from every video!!!!! You just keep being Rebecca and we will all keep watching❤❤❤. I had to come back and say this… me and my sisters get together a week after Christmas and rather than cook the usual stuff I make a giant pot of soup or chili. Just something different ❤

[@Beth_0000]

Me, too, I'm also a senior and I learn something from every one of Rebecca's videos (plus, I"m now hooked on Dollar Tree Veggie eggrolls-I never would have tried them if it weren't for Rebecca!)

[@eathomelive]

I don't know that people trying to help or give suggestions, even when they are wrong, is people making her feel less than appreciated. I think for most of us, trying to help comes from a good place. As long as people aren't being insulting and rude, there is nothing wrong with trying to help someone. I think what is even more important, is that you give positive feed back with suggestions.

[@OZARKMOON1960]

Wow. I've not seen a more complete approach to finding ways to tweak a recipe. You did an excellent job on this. Now we have all kinds of options depending on our flavor preferences. Thanks! ETA: How about a New Year's Day menu? Dad always insisted we have black eyed peas and cornbread. Of course, Hoppin' John (made with black eyed peas) is an option.

[@WandererOfBoundlessLove]

Another candy I like to make at Christmas is peanut clusters. I use semisweet chocolate chips and a can of salted peanuts and a white chocolate candy bar. I microwave the chocolate chips, stir in the peanuts, spoon cookie size chunks onto a tray and refrigerate until hard. Then I microwave the white chocolate bar and drizzle on top just to make them look more decorative. Not sure how it would taste but for dollar tree ingredients you could probably melt some white frosting to drizzle on top if you can’t find white chocolate. It’s sooo good.

[@peaceofjunkjournals]

I love peanuts covered in chocolate! This sounds really easy 🥰 Gotta try it!

I am 65 years old and never could get it right until 2 days ago.. LOL.. also the idea of putting the baggy over a glass and fill the deviled egg mixture was perfect too. I hope you just roll off the stuff other folks say. You do wonderful.

Well done. Ignore your critics, you are doing great!!!!! Fellow empath here.

[@loriloristuff]

Nice job!!!!!!! I don't think people trolled so much as let Rebecca know that Christmas Crack is something that is really, really delicious!!!!!!! Sometimes, stale crackers can do it. Chocolate that has "bloomed" can do it. I think going back and trying again shows a lot of courage and willingness to take into consideration the audience. And I will say, Rebecca, that I am glad you tried again, and am SO glad you like the pretzels!!! That's my favorite.

[@mrsdscraftdesk]

I agree with your fave- pretzels with dark chocolate! Why my kids were little, we would dip pretzel rods into chocolate and add sprinkles. Loved that the kids could do it pretty much on their own and tasted yummy!

I’m so glad that you tried doing it again. I have a thermometer that I use for checking my hot oil. It clips onto the pot. When I make anything where I have to melt sugar, I use the same thermometer for that. It is not a candy thermometer, but it is very helpful. Also, if there is steam there is water. If you wait till there is no steam then it should be at the right temperature of 225/230°. (So I was told.) love your videos by the way! I live around the corner from a dollar tree and I use it as my personal pantry! It’s so fun to watch you do recipes with all the stuff that I look at almost every other day.

Working out the problems and giving many options helps us viewers immensely. Having to taste test all that Christmas Crack. It's a tough job, but someone must do it.
