With the holiday eatings and lots of cleaning

When there is really no time for it all

It’s the hap – happiest season of all…♪♪♪♫♫

of so this time of year can get hectic…

and maybe that is NOT exactly how the song goes…

but make this recipe and it’s sure to get everyone in a better mood.

Ingredients
  • 16 oz pretzel sticks
  • 20 oz chopped chocolate
  • 2 cups butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles
Instructions
  1. Lay pretzels flat on a 1/2 sheet pan.
  2. Boil butter and sugar until it reaches 298 degrees on a candy thermometer.
  3. Pour toffee over pretzels and spread smooth with an offset spatula.
  4. Melt chocolate in a double boiler.
  5. Then pour chocolate over the toffee and smooth out with an offset spatula.
  6. shake sprinkles on top of the chocolate.
  7. Let the chocolate and toffee cool completely before cutting. You can put the tray in the fridge to set it up faster if you are in a hurry.
  8. Cut or break apart toffee and get everyone addicted to this, it will only take one piece I'm sure!
Notes
I used a block of chocolate that is for candy making, I find it doesn't have a waxy coating like chocolate chips and tempers easily, so when the toffee is set up, the chocolate will no be soft at room temperature.

    With a name like “Christmas Crack” I HAD to read this post, Diane. You totally delivered – this sounds ridiculously delicious and addictive. I laughed at your version of Its The Most Wonderful Time of the Year – preach it, girl! Ain’t that the truth.

    Totally delicious! I make a similar recipe that uses saltine crackers in place of the pretzels. Can’t stop with just one piece!

    I laughed a little at your version of the song. Not because I find it funny but because I can relate. 🙂 Making memories for sure!

    I’m sure this isn’t called called Christmas crack for no reason. I’d kinda like to give it a try. I hope you are having a good week. 🙂
