4. Cook in the crockpot

1. Cover and cook on LOW for 45–60 minutes, stirring gently every 15 minutes to coat the crackers.

5. Add chocolate and nuts

1. Turn crockpot off. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot caramel-covered crackers.

2. Cover for 5–10 minutes to allow chocolate to melt, then spread chocolate evenly with a spatula.

3. Sprinkle nuts and a light pinch of sea salt if desired.

6. Cool and serve

• Let the Crockpot Christmas Crack cool completely (1–2 hours) until the chocolate and caramel set.

• Lift out using the parchment paper and cut or break into pieces.

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

💡 Tips & Variations

• Add a festive touch: drizzle white chocolate over the top once the chocolate sets.

• Spice it up: sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne in the caramel for a subtle holiday kick.

• Nut-free: simply skip the nuts — it’s still addictive.

• Use pretzels instead of crackers for an extra salty crunch.
