CROCKPOT CHRISTMAS CRACK

Ingredients:

• 1 sleeve (about 40) saltine crackers
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup holiday-themed sprinkles or crushed candy canes (optional)
• Chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crockpot:
   • Line the bottom of your slow cooker with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
2. Arrange Crackers:
   • Place a single layer of saltine crackers on the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Make Caramel Sauce:
   • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Stir continuously until it comes to a boil, then let it boil for about 3 minutes without stirring. The mixture should thicken slightly.
4. Pour Caramel over Crackers:
   • Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the layer of saltine crackers in the slow cooker.
5. Cook in Crockpot:
   • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 2 hours.
6. Add Chocolate:
   • After 2 hours, sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the caramel-covered crackers. Cover the slow cooker and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
7. Spread Chocolate:
   • Once the chocolate chips have softened, use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer.
8. Add Toppings (Optional):
   • If desired, sprinkle holiday-themed sprinkles or crushed candy canes over the melted chocolate. You can also add chopped nuts if you like.
9. Chill:
   • Allow the Christmas Crack to cool and set. You can speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator.
10. Break into Pieces:

• Once completely set, lift the Christmas Crack out of the slow cooker using the parchment paper overhang. Break it into pieces.

11. Serve:
    • Serve and enjoy your Crockpot Christmas Crack!
