Christmas Crack: The one thing you need to make this christmas

If you've never had Christmas Crack then where you've been? BECAUSE not only is it cheap and easy it is so delicious you will eat the entire thing. And it also makes an epic gift.



Before we get started here is one thing you need to know about me:


I am not a chef
I rarely follow a recipe, I hope for the best
98% of the time it works out - mainly because I don't really cook anything, I kinda throw things together that I know will work.

Oh, and I'm not the inventor of this, Christmas Crack is like an Australian staple.



Here's what you'll need:

Saladas or a salty cracker - to lay a tray

Butter - 125g

Brown Sugar - 1 cup

Cadbury dark and milk chocolate melts - hearts desire

Green and red m&ms - hearts desire


You're going to say HOW MUCH OF EACH, and here's the thing this recipe will not fail.


So your first step - pick a tray that you already own, you don't need to go out and buy anything new for this.



The Steps:

  1. Put oven on 180 fan forced

  2. Spray a baking paper of your choice with oil

  3. Lay baking paper on the tray so it sticks down to the oil

  4. Place your salty crackers until the tray is covered

  5. Then melt the butter

  6. Add the brown sugar

  7. Mix until brown sugar had melted

  8. Pour over the crackers - this is where I go rouge, if your butter and sugar mixture hasn't covered the tray melt and mix some more ... everything will be ok

  9. Once all the crackers are covered place in the oven until the mixture bubbles

  10. As soon as you pull the tray out of the oven add the milk and dark choc melts

  11. Because the mixture is so HOT the melts will melt, and as they melt spread them around to cover the caramel

  12. Once the chocolate layer is done sprinkle with any toppings

  13. Pop in the fridge

  14. I find its better once it's been in the fridge over night
