Christmas Crack
If you’ve never tried Christmas Crack you’re in for a treat! You only need 4 ingredients, saltine crackers, butter, brown sugar, and chocolate chips.
You can also add a topping such as sprinkles, coconut, sea salt, or crushed pretzels if you like. I added crushed pretzels and sprinkles, but feel free to add your favorite topping!
It’s super easy to make, and reminds me of a Heath candy bar, only better! It’s the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy.
This would also make a great little treat to give to family and friends for the holidays.
