Ingredients:
- 50 Saltine crackers
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, cut into chunks
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup yellow chocolate melts
- Easter-themed sprinkles
- Small Cadbury eggs
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer, neatly aligned.
-
Make the Toffee:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Once fully melted, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Let it boil for about 2 minutes until it turns bubbly and thick.
-
Coat the Crackers:
Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture over the saltine crackers, using a spatula to spread it evenly. -
Bake to Perfection:
Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for approximately 7 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling. -
Melt the Chocolate:
While the toffee bakes, melt the yellow chocolate melts according to the package directions. (For best results, check out my foolproof chocolate melting tips in the post!) -
Add the Chocolate Layer:
Remove the pan from the oven and gently push any crackers that may have shifted back into place. Immediately sprinkle the milk chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a minute or return the pan to the oven for about a minute to help the chocolate soften. Once melted, spread the chocolate evenly over the crackers.
-
Decorate:
Drizzle the melted yellow chocolate over the milk chocolate layer in a decorative pattern. Use a butter knife or toothpick to swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.
-
Add Easter Touches:
While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle on Easter-themed sprinkles and press in small Cadbury eggs. The melted chocolate will act as a natural adhesive.
-
Set & Enjoy:
Allow the bark to cool completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process. Once firm, break into pieces and enjoy your festive Easter treat!
Tips & Tricks for the Perfect Easter Crack
💡 Use Parchment Paper: Instead of aluminum foil, try lining your baking sheet with parchment paper for easier removal.
💡 Don’t Overbake: The toffee should be bubbling, but don’t let it burn! Keep an eye on it in the oven.
💡 Melt Chocolate Gently: If the chocolate chips aren’t melting fast enough, pop the pan back in the oven for about a minute.
💡 Swirl with a Toothpick: For a beautiful marbled effect, use a toothpick or butter knife to mix the milk and yellow chocolate.
💡 Let It Set Completely: For the best texture, allow the crack to fully harden before breaking it into pieces.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Can I use a different type of chocolate?
Yes! While milk chocolate works perfectly, you can also use white chocolate, dark chocolate, or even a mix of all three.
❓ How do I store Easter Crack?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the fridge for a longer shelf life.
❓ Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Easter Crack is a great make-ahead treat since it stays fresh for days. Just be sure to store it properly.
❓ Can I use a different type of cracker?
Yes! Saltines are the classic choice, but Ritz crackers or graham crackers can also work for a slightly different texture.
Melting Chocolate
Remember if you have an instant pot you can melt chocolate in it very easily. It has quickly become my favorite method for any melting chocolate recipes I come across.
In a microwave-safe container, microwave candy melts at 50% power or the defrost setting on your microwave. Melt for one minute to start. Remove and stir. Place back in the microwave for additional 30 seconds at 50% power. Remove and stir. Continue to do this in 30-second intervals until smooth and creamy. Remember less is better. You can help melt some pieces that are still not fully melted by stirring with a spoon. You do not want to over microwave your chocolate.
