Christmas crack is super tasty and addictive, just as the name suggests! It is also known as toffee saltine cracker candies that needs only 4 ingredients and takes only 15 minutes of active time! It's perfect as an everyday treat or for the holidays, just like nama chocolate.
Preheat oven to 375°F and prepare a jelly roll pan (or any 10x15 inch pan) lined with parchment paper.
Arrange the saltine crackers in the lined jelly roll pan in one single layer. Set aside until needed.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and brown sugar. Heat until the butter is melted, stirring occasionally. Then, let the butter and sugar mixture come to a high simmer and let it cook until bubbly and emulsified, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour the butter and brown sugar (toffee) mixture over the pan of crackers and immediately spread out the toffee mixture as evenly as possible.
Carefully place the pan into the oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly all over.
Carefully remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly on top of the toffee. Let the chocolate sit for about 5 minutes, or until all melted. Then spread out the chocolate evenly with a rubber spatula, offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
If you wish to add additional toppings, garnish the Christmas crack now. Once finished, let the Christmas crack cool completely at room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the chocolate is hard.
When the chocolate has hardened completely, peel off the parchment and break the Christmas crack into 20 pieces, or into your desired size pieces. Enjoy immediately or keep it refrigerated until ready to enjoy!

Chocolate - Feel free to substitute the bittersweet chocolate with milk chocolate chips if you prefer sweeter chocolate.
Saltine crackers - Different brands of saltine crackers can vary in sizes, is adjust the amount needed, as you see fit.
Also, if you prefer, you could also use graham crackers or other types of crackers instead of saltine crackers. We do recommend sticking to crackers that are square or rectangular for easier arrangement.
