2. Cereal
The star ingredient of this recipe is the cereal. Not only does it add an extra layer of crunch, but it also adds a festive touch with its red and green colors. Rice cereal, like Rice Krispies or Chex, works best, but you can also use corn flakes or even crushed candy canes.
3. Butter
To make the toffee mixture, you'll need butter. It's important to use unsalted butter for this recipe to avoid the crack becoming too salty.
4. Brown Sugar
Brown sugar adds the perfect amount of sweetness and caramel flavor to the toffee mixture. You can use light or dark brown sugar, depending on your preference.
5. Vanilla Extract
A touch of vanilla extract adds a warm and comforting flavor to the toffee mixture. Make sure to use pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
6. Chocolate Chips
No Christmas crack is complete without a layer of chocolate on top. You can use milk, dark, or white chocolate chips, or even a mix of all three for a festive touch.

In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once melted, add in the vanilla extract and let it boil for about 3-4 minutes.

Once the toffee mixture has thickened, pour it over the crackers and cereal, making sure to cover everything evenly.
