Much as we all want to be martha stewart come the holidays, time is one gift santa has yet to leave in our stockings. The good news is you can still enjoy making homemade treats with minimal mess and effort. All you need is four ingredients to transform pantry baking staples into an addictive holiday sweet treat that's aptly-named christmas crack. Come your next trip to the supermarket, make sure to add saltine crackers, butter, brown sugar, and chocolate chips to your shopping list. Butter and brown sugar cook into a bubbly toffee mixture, in essence turning into a candy glue that holds a layer of saltine crackers underneath together. You can get creative with the toffee, and infuse it with instant espresso powder for a mocha christmas crack, or top with dried pineapple and coconut flakes for a tropical christmas crack (and perfectly packed in a mason jar or tin to send to loved ones near and far). The possibilities for a variation on making your own unique christmas crack are only limited to the depths of your imaginationweve got a few more suggestions to inspire you below
