Crockpot Christmas Crack: The Ultimate Holiday Sweet Treat

The holidays are a time for indulgence, warmth, and joy—and nothing embodies this better than a sweet, crunchy, buttery treat. Crockpot Christmas Crack is a modern twist on the classic “Christmas Crack” candy, which combines the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and chocolatey goodness. Using a crockpot (slow cooker) makes it even easier, letting the flavors meld beautifully without any risk of burning. Here’s everything you need to know to make this irresistible holiday treat.

Ingredients

For the base and topping, you will need:

1 sleeve of saltine crackers (about 40-45 crackers)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional toppings: chopped nuts, crushed peppermint candies, or festive sprinkles

Equipment

Crockpot (slow cooker)
Parchment paper or aluminum foil
Spatula or wooden spoon
Microwave-safe bowl (optional)

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Crockpot

Line the inside of your crockpot with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Make sure the edges hang over slightly so you can easily lift the finished candy out later. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

Step 2: Layer the Crackers

Take your saltine crackers and create a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot. Make sure the crackers are side by side, covering the entire base. Don’t worry if they overlap slightly—they will soften and spread with the caramel mixture.

Step 3: Make the Caramel Mixture

In a microwave-safe bowl or a small saucepan, melt 1 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar together until smooth. If using the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully combined.
