These sweet treats, whether they are pavlova, rocky road, or trifle, have become synonymous with the celebrations at the end of the year.
A newbie has joined the chat, and it’s a huge one. We think this might be our favorite yet. Welcome to our best Christmas crack ever.
What is the Christmas crack made from?
The sweet is made from a base consisting of salted biscuits and a layer of caramel toffee. It’s then topped with dark and white chocolate and finished off with M&Ms and a drizzle of white chocolate.
This recipe is easy to make, even for beginners, because it doesn’t call for a candy thermometer.
Origins of Christmas Crack
Our American friends made this deceptively easy dessert famous. They use a salty cracker called a “saltine” in their version. We call it Salada.
Only a few short years ago, when we shared our version of the Christmas treat with Aussies, did they swoon. Even today.
Chefs agree that the combination of salty, crisp biscuit base and soft toffee with a rich chocolate top is a winning combination. We recently shared this recipe on social media, and it’s received over 125,000 views, with hundreds of comments, shares, and likes.
We have thousands of recipes saved and a 5-star rating on our website.
