Ingredients You Will Need
Crackers
The base of this delectable treat is made of crackers, so it's essential to choose the right ones. Saltine crackers work best for this recipe as they provide the perfect balance of saltiness and crunch. However, you can also use graham crackers or any other type of plain, unsalted crackers if that's what you have on hand.
Butter
To give your Christmas reindeer crack candy its irresistible buttery flavor, you will need unsalted butter. It's essential to use unsalted butter as the salt from the crackers will already provide the right amount of saltiness to the recipe.
Brown Sugar
For the caramel layer, you will need brown sugar. Brown sugar adds a rich and deep flavor to the candy, making it a perfect complement to the chocolate and crackers.
Chocolate Chips
The final layer of this delicious treat is made of chocolate chips. You can use any type of chocolate chips – milk, dark, or white – depending on your preference. You can also mix and match different types of chocolate for a more diverse flavor.

Step 4: Pour the Caramel over the Crackers
Pour the caramel mixture over the crackers, making sure they are all evenly coated.
Step 5: Bake in the Oven
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the caramel is bubbly and the crackers are slightly golden.
Step 6: Add the Chocolate Chips
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the caramel layer. Let it sit for a few minutes until the chocolate chips have melted.
Step 7: Spread the Chocolate
Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the crackers.
