What wasn't mentioned is that you want to use the saltines WITH the salted tops AND, to heighten the taste sensation, (as you start placing those on the pan) place the salted side DOWN on your sheet pan.

I have been making this since my kids were little and my son still requests it every Christmas - he's 16 now. I just made some yesterday! What I love about it is that you can do so much with it - white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, Andes mint chocolate, nuts, crushed peppermint, etc. My favorite is milk chocolate with crushed pecans on top.

[@loismackenzie7715]

I have a Jewish friend who makes this with Matzoh and she gave me the recipe. It is easier to spread the caramel and chocolate on a sheet of Matzoh than it is on small squares of crackers that keep moving around. Although using crackers is much easier to break up into serving pieces. Also, sometimes it can be hard to find Matzoh at Christmas time because it is mostly available in April for Passover.

[@nikkiflippy007]

This is a great idea and my Jewish friends will love it as a gift!

[@primmoore6232]

Our rabbi made it the best. Makes me look forward to Passover! Look for matzoh in the kosher aisle. It's available all year.

[@susanlyon1972]

This is considered mandatory at Passover in our family. The trickiest part is getting the matzoh to fit flat and evenly in the pan. It's a challenge!!

[@loismackenzie7715]

I can't remember what brand she was using, or the brand I tried myself after I got her recipe, but they were flat enough. It has been my experience to find matzos characteristically wavy. However, I just happened to have a box of Streit's Matzos in my cupboard now (egg and onion) and they do curve upwards and rock a little....but ever so slightly. I don't think the caramel pooled in the middle of these or I would have remembered. I would still much rather use Matzos than crackers. One matzo equals nine crackers. Easy peasy. I'm going to try it again in a couple of days...no not on my existing Matzohs, but on plain ones. I saw plain ones in the store last week so I think I will be in luck. Thanks for reminding me!

[@carolgladney9890]

I love this, not only because it's incredibly good, but we have friends with severe allergies to nuts. This gives them the crunch, great flavors, and they're included with everyone else! I make a no nuts batch, finish it completely, so it's not anywhere around the 2nd batch, which has nuts.

[@deborahinman7151]

An easier way to do the caramel is to put 2 sticks of butter sliced, 2 cups of packed light brown sugar and put it into the microwave for 2 minutes. Carefully ( it will be very hot) take the mixture out of the microwave and stir well. Mix 2tsp of baking soda into the mix to take care of the foamy look and more like caramel. Mix well. Place back into the microwave for 2 minutes and again carefully remove from the microwave and mix well again and it's ready to use in your recipes. We use it mostly for caramel corn.

When I saw Christmas Crack, just had to comment. Up north we have been making that toffee for many years. Now as far as "CRACK" which my daughter in law named it, this is 2 bags hulless popcorn that you mix with a few ingredients such as : bring to boil 2 sticks butter or margarine, 1/2 cup light Karo, 2 cups brown sugar. Bring to boil 5 min, take from heat then add 1/2 tsp baking soda, stir till frothy. * before you start pan of sauce, get a large disposable deep aluminum pan from dollar store with handles, spray well, pour your bags of popcorn in, then when sauce is frothy, pour over and mix well. In 250° oven for 1 hour, taking out to stir well every 15 min. When time is up put into bags and watch everyone devour this "CRACK" you'll forget about yours and start a new tradition, I promise you!!!!!!!

Easy to make this vegan. I used coconut sugar and miyoko's vegan butter. Mini chocolate chips melt down faster, making for a really easy spreading consistency, and a metal icing spatula did the trick. I didn't realize my sheet pan was smaller and was happily surprised that with just the right technique I could use my chef's knife to cut the final row of saltines to size.

Love this video recipe, I’ve been making and watching this one for two yrs, thanksgiving and Christmas,,mine come out perfect ,, I’ve tweak it a little, it’s over a million views, AMAZING !!

[@palucas]

That looks so yummy, I love anything with chocolate, caramel and nuts and this has all three! I tried to concentrate on the video but all I could thing about was that the crackers fit the pan perfectly!! LOL Again I saw Pollux in the background making sure you didn't drop anything on the floor. He wants the kitchen floor to be clean! 🤣🥰

[@susanfaith560]

Love this! For those like me with no frig room if it's cold just sit it outside on your porch and let cool. 😅

[@maggieslifeisawildride512]

Woman! You're killin' me...Lol! Now I'm gonna have to make this today! I've made homemade caramel lots of times in the past and am so familiar with the boil stages and I know how yummy your kitchen smelled while you were cooking that caramel. YUM!!! Happy Vlogmas Day

[@donnapollock]

I have been threatning to make this delicious stuff for a while now and still haven't. But I'm going to now. I can't wait to make this....Thank you and God Bless you for this recipe.....

[@connormcmahon4734]

Oh, man, Renee! Your husband is a lucky guy (as are P&M). Glad you guys were safe from the storms there!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

awww thank so much Connor 💗

[@judycarr457]

I always make chirstmas candy. I found this a few years ago and everyone loves it. I replaced the english toffee I used to make that took soo much longer. I use mini M&Ms, xmas sprinkles, crushed malted milk balls, etc. Love this stuff. I did have one of my grandkids teachers ask me about crack tho hahaha

[@dewuknowofHyMn]

Love the TITLE !!! just found u...i dont think ill be dissappointed !!!!

[@captnklutz3394]

Thank you. I made it for the first time, I think I didn't cook the caramel enough and could not make it to all the edges. I used milk chocolate, had some honey roasted peanuts, i chopped them and sprinkled them on and some Christmas sprinkles. Chopped up the crack, brought it to a party, I brought an empty plate home

[@susanfontaine5214]

Family fav here for many years! We call it Christmas crack as well! Always make at least double batches, if not triple! Our topping is walnuts. It’s my one no limit treat every Christmas. 😊🥰🎄🎅🏻

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I made 2 batches yesterday for gifts....and I can't stay out of it!!!! Like you....it's my one "no limit" treat at the holidays 😁

[@lalindagibson]

I just made 2 pans for a Christmas Party tomorrow. I added Milk & semi sweet chocolate. butter finger pieces, coconut. Thank you for sharing.

[@nc161]

the hidden blessing in this video was taking these shots every time she said crack

I have made this every year since you posted it! I absolutely love it and so does my family . Easy to make

[@catherinetorgerson5111]

I am making this TODAY! They come out so nice. And yes!! I do have all of the ingredients at home. 🎄

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Oh Yay! Prepare to be obsessed!

[@hopalstudiosjuliehattis]

You for got to tell us that you set the oven at 400° I seen it on the back of the oven when you were pouring chocolate chips. Thank you for sharing. My Grandkids are going to love it. 😊

[@hilarybromfield2908]

Renee, your content is always so interesting, informative and entertaining! I like how you're always willing to share your recipes etc. I am 78 years old and I am all the way in the Caribbean, on the island of Jamaica! Oh, by the way, I'm such a fan of Pollux..he reminds me of a dog I used to have...Take care..💕🐕

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Hey in Jamaica!!! Wish I was there today....it's cold and pouring down rain in Paducah. Yuck!

[@nancyadamson286]

Where is Pollux today... I lost track.

[@lindamorse1335]

Glad I found this. First time batch in the waiting for fridge step.

[@tamilanemurray3749]

Are you saying "Roaring Boil" deliberately instead of "Rolling Boil"? A Rolling Boil is when your liquid boils and gets all foamy like you said and you can't stir the boil down. In 60+ years of cooking I have never heard of Roaring Boil. Not trying to be mean, your recipe looks delicious and I am going to try it. ❤

[@pambatterman6154]

@@tamilanemurray3749 I'm old, I was taught ROILING boil, but my daughters in law all say ROLLING. The way things change!

[@tamilanemurray3749]

@pambatterman6154 I thought it may have been "Roiling" boil but my old home ec teacher and my mother used "Rolling" boil.

[@sarisigmund2115]

Yes, it is a “rolling boil” because the bubbles are rolling over each other continuously. That is the correct term.

[@junelloyd5844]

This recipe is so unbelievably easy!! I even used sugar free brown sugar truvia to make it sugar free!! With Lily's sugar free chocolate chips also. The crack still turned out beautifully and is so yummy! The pan size 10 inch x 15 inch works the best.

[@vickigibson8964]

Looks delicious. I’m going to make some this year for sure!! By the way…your curls are absolutely beautiful.

[@jeannebeam3042]

I had never had Christmas crack until this year. I couldn’t stop eating it. Thanks for sharing the steps and tips.

[@kellyw.1779]

I completely agree...this "crack" is delicious!!😋 It's been so long since I've made it and I'm definitely going to change that this year. It's also scrumptious with a pretzel base and or any kind of "chips" of your choice. From the peanut butter or butterscotch ones to M&M's or even the kitchen sink.😜LOL The possibilities are endless...have fun with your favorite combinations. Merry Christmas to everyone...Big ((Hugs)) from Texas!

[@Juelstone]

I had it with saltine crackers before, but pretzel base sounds delicious.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I made my first batch of the season a few days ago.....I'm obsessed! Many more batches to come!

[@marlenejones6266]

How would I do a pretzel base? The stick pretzels spread evenly across the sheet pan? Then pour the Carmel over the pretzels? Ok I think I answered it myself

[@donnawestbrook8992]

@@marlenejones6266 we did it with pretzel flats, though my toffee to pretzel ratio was about twice as much toffee as she is showing, which I think made it easier to cover the pretzels.

[@tammywoyak5477]

I can't wait to try this!! I am watching the replay from Shepherdsville KY ☺️

[@SharonGus]

I am so going to make this. I’m gonna get crack-a-lacking on it! Thanks Renee!!!!
