How To Make Halloween Crack:
The first thing you need to do is grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. Y’all know I love my Caraway Home baking sheets!
However, you will definitely need parchment paper, no matter what kind of baking sheet you are using since this is a little bit of a messy recipe.
Using parchment paper will make cleanup so much easier! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line up the 40 saltine crackers on the prepared baking sheet.
Then, melt the butter on brown sugar together in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stirring constantly, continue to boil for another 3-4 minutes, or until mixture becomes thicker.
Pour this mixture all over the prepared saltine crackers. Place in preheated oven for 4-5 minutes, or until it becomes golden and bubbly.
Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Let them sit for 5 minutes. If you want to use the orange candy melts like I did, now you can prepare them.
Melt them according to package instructions and set aside. After 5 minutes, use a rubber spatula and spread the chocolate all over the crackers.
Then, if using the melted orange candy melts, use a fork and drip orange chocolate all over the crackers as well. After that, you can start adding the Halloween sprinkles, candy corn, Reese’s Pieces, and whatever else you want to add as toppings.
Once finished place in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to let it harden. Then, break into small pieces and enjoy. I like to store all my leftovers in the freezer and just pop a few pieces out at a time when I want a sweet treat!
Enjoy This Halloween Crack Candy!
