This Halloween Crack is a sweet and salty treat that’s dangerously addictive! A buttery toffee base topped with pretzels, candy corn, and chocolate, it’s the perfect festive dessert for parties or snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 sleeve saltine crackers
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1/2 cup pretzel sticks, broken into pieces
  • Halloween sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and sugar together over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  4. Continue to boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is a deep golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and sea salt.
  5. Pour the hot butter mixture evenly over the crackers, spreading with a spatula if necessary.
  6. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let sit for a minute to soften, then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee.
  8. Sprinkle with candy corn, pretzel pieces, and Halloween sprinkles (if using).
  9. Let cool completely in the refrigerator until firm. Break into pieces and serve.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. You can also substitute milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
