How did I not know this candy trick?

I make Christmas candy with Ritz crackers.

We make this every year on a cookie sheet but we use pretzels and top it with pink sea salt. So addictive.

Been making this for yrs. I use Saltines on cookie sheet. Thinner pieces. Also, gently drop/tap tray on counter. Helps toppings sink in & stick.

My family makes this every year but we use saltines. My wife likes to put M&Ms on it. I love it but it's so sweet.

You're cooking all these different things, desserts, and meals. They're so great, and I really enjoy watching you, do them, I thank you because you're spreading joy and love in Europe and you're cooking. Thank you for that. And I really like the fact that some of the comments mentioned using different things. And that's everybody's different and we're just spread the kindness to one another just as Jesus did. Thank you😊

Could you please tell me whether you use dark brown sugar or light brown sugar in your recipes. Thank you so much.

I'd like to add a little note here. Once the sugar has fully melted, IMMEDIATELY take it off the heat. I made the mistake of not doing this before and my sugar went back to grainy. Lesson learned.

I'd like to make this candy using mint chocolate chips or regular chocolate chips with crushed peppermint candy sprinkled on top. Has anyone made this candy with either of these ingredients? If so will you let me know how it tasted? Thanks!

[Lolabelle]

Looks so yummy. I would use dark chocolate. Thank you!

Chopped pecans or almonds, even unsalted dry roasted peanuts would be good.

My gran made something similar, but with saltines. It’s addicting!

[frmaggi]

My grandma makes this every Christmas. She uses both saltines and ritz. It’s called fool’s toffee because you don’t go through the whole toffee process to make it.

I gotta try this. Looks so yummy. Thank

In case anybody is wondering, don't use "plant butter" for this. I learned the hard way. Lol

[sebrinamcgee]

Been doing this for about 3 years myself now and has become our favorite snack throughout the year hands down!

[quatishajames]

That's the Christmas Crack isn't it??

[karynsuepohlmeier]

I'm going to try making that this weekend, I just know I can!!.... I'm a terrible cook and an even worse baker!

BTW, your kitchen is beautiful!! ❤

[florenceschneider]

How about mini marshmallows sounds good

[cherylklemm]

It would be good with peanut butter chips.

FYI ...As stated, always use parchment paper for baking. It's designed for that, whereas foil will very often stick in tiny little bits & is very frustrating to remove 😮. 🏖 Kj in Tampa Bay 😊

Cut sticks of butter into 4 pieces each stick. They will melt faster
