To make this Christmas crack bark, you'll need to start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is heating up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the sheet. Next, in a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once the mixture comes to a boil, let it cook for an additional 3 minutes.
After the 3 minutes are up, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture over the saltine crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Once the crackers are done baking, remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Let the chocolate chips sit for a few minutes, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate over the crackers.
Now comes the fun part – adding the toppings! Sprinkle your desired toppings over the melted chocolate, pressing them in slightly to ensure they stick. Let the Christmas crack bark cool in the fridge for at least an hour before breaking it into pieces and serving.
This Christmas crack bark is not only delicious but also incredibly versatile. You can mix up the toppings to suit your taste or even get creative with the type of chocolate used. White chocolate, dark chocolate, or even a combination of both can be used to make this treat truly unique.
So, this holiday season, impress your friends and family with this irresistible Christmas crack bark. And with such simple ingredients and easy instructions, this recipe is perfect for even the most novice of bakers. Happy holidays and happy snacking!
