Christmas Crack Recipe from Sam Does Her Best
Seriously the easiest holiday treat ever. Just gluten-free crackers, vegan butter, coconut sugar, and chocolate. That’s it.
What You’ll Need:
1 box Simple Mill gluten-free crackers (or 1 sleeve Saltines)
1 cup (2 sticks) vegan butter (or regular butter)
1 cup coconut sugar
2 cups chocolate chips
What To Do:
Preheat oven to 400 F and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange crackers in an even layer on baking sheet.
Melt butter and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once butter has melted, cook for another 4–5 minutes, stirring constantly until dark brown and bubbling. Remove from heat, then immediately pour over crackers.
Bake in oven for 5 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
Meanwhile, melt chocolate in the microwave, in 30 second intervals until completely smooth. Remove crackers from oven and let cool for 1 minute or until no longer bubbling, then pour chocolate over top and spread into an even layer.
Leave to cool at room temperature then transfer to either the fridge for 6–8 hours, or the freezer for 3–4 hours. Remove crack candy from pan, peel away foil, and break into large chunks.
About the Recipe
“I recently stopped by the @freshdirect headquarters to show them how to make my 4 ingredient healthier Christmas crack… and let me tell you, they LOVED it! 😍 It’s seriously the easiest holiday treat ever —we used Simple Mills gluten-free crackers, melted together vegan butter and coconut sugar, baked it for a few minutes, then topped it with plenty of chocolate. Once it sets in the fridge and gets that perfect sweet-and-salty crunch with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. You’ll understand why everyone at FreshDirect went crazy for it. the perfect quick holiday dessert or edible gift!” —Sam
