Christmas Crack
Directions
- 1Line your cookie sheet very well with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- 2Arrange Purity Cream Crackers on the lined cookie sheet, ensuring no gaps.
- 3In a small to medium pot, add 1.25 cups of butter.
- 4Add 1.25 cups of brown sugar to the pot with the butter.
- 5Bring the butter and brown sugar mixture to a boil over medium to low heat on the stovetop.
- 6Once boiling, continue to boil the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time to prevent burning.
- 7Immediately pour the hot, bubbling caramel mixture over the crackers on the cookie sheet, ensuring all crackers are coated.
- 8Place the cookie sheet in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 5 minutes.
- 9As soon as you remove it from the oven, start adding butterscotch chips (less than half a package was used).
- 10Add a full package of milk chocolate chips over the butterscotch chips.
- 11Pop the cookie sheet back into the turned-off oven for 1-2 minutes to speed up the melting process of the chips.
- 12Using an oven mitt and a spatula, spread the melted butterscotch and milk chocolate chips evenly over the crackers.
- 13Decorate the Christmas crack with red and green sprinkles.
- 14Add half-split red and green Christmas M&M's and some candy dust for extra festive color.
- 15Let the Christmas crack cool on the counter for about half an hour, then pop it into the fridge for about an hour or more to fully set.
- 16Once chilled and set, crack the Christmas crack into pieces along the cracker lines.
- 17Transfer the cracked pieces onto a plate and put them back in the fridge to chill a bit more if needed.
- 18Taste a piece to ensure the quality of your Christmas crack.

Tips
- Always line your cookie sheet very well, even if it's non-stick.
- For those not from Newfoundland, you can use potato chips, saltine crackers, Ritz crackers, or pretzels as a base. Graham crackers are a personal favorite.

- When spreading melted chips, wear an oven mitt in case you need to touch the hot pan.
- You can decorate with various sprinkles and candies to make it festive.
