This is a recipe that I watched Trisha Yearwood make, and she had her own name for it, “Southern Crack”. Or it might have been Trisha Yearwood Crack Candy. Well either way, I’m not sure that is what I would call it, but I do understand her reasoning for the name, because it is very addicting! I call it simply Saltine Cracker Candy!

- 40 saltine crackers
- 1 cup butter (2 cubes)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 8 oz. chocolate chips (about 1⅓ cups) I used milk chocolate, but you could use semi sweet also.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Line one large jelly roll pan with aluminum foil.
- Spray with nonstick spray and place the saltines salt side down in rows on the pan.
- In a medium sauce pan melt the butter and brown sugar together and boil until it turns a caramel color, just a few minutes.
- Remove from heat and pour over the saltine crackers evenly.
- Put the pan in the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes or until bubbly.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top evenly.
- When the chocolate chips start to melt start to spread the chocolate with a knife till it covers the top of the crackers.
- Transfer the pan to the freezer for 15-20 minutes or until firm.
- Break into pieces and store in an air tight container. I keep mine in the fridge because they are so yummy cold, and they stay nice and crisp. These are best I think the next day... Sooo addicting

Absolutely mouth-watering!!!! LOVE.THAT.STUFF!
I was going to ask if the crackers get soft / soggy, but I think that is what you might be saying based on your comment about keeping them in the fridge because they stay crisp. Is this a correct assumption? Just wondering how they would be if I made them for gifts?
The butter and sugar makes a toffee- if you measure accurately and don’t under cook the crackers are crisp, even at room temp.
trying this tonight 🙂 thanks, they look yummy
Love them. Really easy to make.
