Valentine’s Day Crack
What a great Valentine’s surprise for your loved one. It is so much sweeter to give a homemade surprise instead of buying one. This sweet and salty delicious treat is very addictive (why it’s called crack). This is so simple to make and takes very little time but tastes like you worked for hours to make it.
Ingredients – Sprinkles too!
Cover a jelly roll pan with foil.
Spray the pan with cooking spray.
Line the pan with 35-40 saltine
crackers with the salted side down.
In a medium saucepan,
melt the butter.
Add the brown sugar and stir until the
brown sugar and butter are combined.
Cook over medium heat, stirring
constantly, until mixture starts to
boil and turns to a caramel color.
Remove the pan from the heat
and immediately pour caramel
evenly over the crackers.
I used a gravy spoon to do this.
Place the pan into a preheated 425
degree oven. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or
until the caramel starts to bubble
and watch it carefully!
Remove the pan from the oven
and immediately sprinkle
with the chocolate chips.
Let the chocolate chips melt then
carefully spread the melted
chocolate evenly over the crackers.
Top with sprinkles if you wish.
Place the pan into the freezer
for about 15 minutes then remove.
Remove the foil from the bottom of
the crack. Place the crack on a large
cutting board. Using a large sharp
knife, cut into squares. Store in an air
tight container or bag in the refrigerator.

Looks scrumptious & sounds easy! Like to try the combo of salted crackers & chocolate.
Thanks this was the first time I tried them. I’m sure glad I gave half of them away! Soooooo good!
What a wonderful idea for a Valentine treat!
Thank you Robin!
what a wonderful treat for V day!
It would have been if we didn’t eat it all already….lol
I love the name “crack”!
This recipe started out as Christmas Crack. It has been around for years. I just thought why not make it for Valentines Day instead of Christmas. After I tasted it and couldn’t stay out of the bag I understood why they call it Crack……so addicting!
Ha, I bet Diane. I get the name, still funny though. Any more thoughts on the podcast?
Yes as soon as you are back on Facebook let’s do it.
Lovely.<3
Thank you so much Laleh!

That is so true Donna!
I love crack. I make this for Christmas all the time. I like the addition of the red sprinkles. I wonder how it would taste with cinnamon hearts on top?
Great idea! or even a conversation candy heart in the middle of each piece.
Wow – good to make a test batch to make sure you got it down pat before trying it for Valentine’s Day!
I love the way you think Linda!
Salt and chocolate, there is nothing better! 💗
There sure isn’t Lisa! Thanks!
My son loves this! His grandma makes it for him so he got the recipe and we tried it home, huge fail. Thankfully it’s their special thing. 🙂
