The Christmas Crack recipe

Ingredients

• 1 packet of savory crackers

• 230g unsalted butter

• 220g brown sugar

• 300g chocolate chips

Steps

• Preheat the oven to 180°C.

• Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Spread the crackers edge to edge until they cover the entire surface.

• Pour the butter and sugar into a saucepan. Bring to the boil then cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

• Pour this caramel over the crackers and spread with a spatula to cover them. Bake for 6 minutes, until the caramel bubbles and permeates the crackers. Take out of the oven.

• Sprinkle with chocolate chips immediately, let soften for a minute then spread with a spatula until the entire surface is covered with melted chocolate.

• Decorate as you wish, let cool and place in the fridge for 2 hours.

• Break into pieces and enjoy!

Adapt the recipe

• Crackers : the TikTok recipe uses Saltines, English salty crackers. In France, opt for Tuc or equivalent, even homemade crackers as long as they are salty and square to cover the baking sheet.

• Chocolate : use nuggets, shavings or grated chocolate, dark, white, milk, praline…

• The topping : alternate balls of colored sugar, crushed walnuts or hazelnuts, dried or candied fruit, crushed sweets, grated coconut…
