CHOCOLATE CRACK -- SALTINE TOFFEE SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Line a jelly roll pan with foil. Coat with nonstick spray.
• Cover the bottom of the pan with a single layer of saltine crackers.
• Melt butter and sugar over med-low heat. Whisk until butter melted and mixture begins to boil. Boil for 3 minutes, whisking constantly. All the sugar granules should be melted.
• Carefully pour over the crackers.
• Bake for 5-6 minutes until bubbly. The crackers may bubble & lift off the bottom of the baking sheet, don't worry!
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let rest for a couple minutes until choc chips begin to get glossy and soft.
• Spread the chocolate over the toffee, sprinkle with nuts, pressing the nuts into the warm toffee.
• Cool completely. *Best results when cooled in in the fridge.
• Cut or break into pieces.

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE MATZO CRACK

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil, making sure the foil goes up and over the edges, and top with sheet of parchment paper.
• 3. Cover baking sheet with matzos, cutting and piecing together as necessary to fill the entire pan.
• 4. Make toffee: Combine butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan.
• 5. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until mixture comes to a boil. (If it looks like it's separating, just keep stirring; it will come together.).
• 6. Once mixture comes to a boil, continue cooking and stirring for another 3 minutes until foamy and thickened. (Be extra careful -- toffee will be very hot!).
• 7. Immediately pour toffee over matzos and, using a spatula, spread into an even layer.
• 8. Put the pan into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the toffee topping is crackled and bubbling all over.
• 9. Remove pan and place on wire cooling rack on the counter. Immediately scatter chocolate chips evenly over top.
• 10. Wait 3-5 minutes for the chips to soften, then use a thin spatula to spread chocolate into an even layer.
• 11. Sprinkle with pecans and sea salt. Note: If you can only find regular salted matzos, cut back or omit the sea salt.
• 12. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 45 minutes. Don't leave it in the fridge too much longer, otherwise it will be hard to cut.
• 13. Lift foil overhang to transfer matzo crack onto a large cutting board. Using a large sharp knife, cut into 2-inch squares.
• 14. Store in an airtight container in the fridge and serve cold.

CHOCOLATE SALTINE TOFFEE (AKA CHRISTMAS CRACK)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9 x 13 pan or similar with aluminum foil and spray it very well with cooking spray. Do not try to make this without using foil; you will hate yourself. Place saltine crackers in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. In a saucepan on the stovetop, combine butter and sugar and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Once a boil is reached, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture has thickened some. Take care not that your simmer is not too fast/too high because it will be prone to bubbling over or scorching. Stir mixture frequently while it simmers to avoid bubbling over or scorching. The taste of burnt butter and sugar is awful so don't burn it. After mixture has thickened a bit, remove it from the heat, wait 30 seconds, add the vanilla extract and stir. Pour mixture over the prepared pan with the saltine crackers. Bake in for 5- 7 minutes, or until toffee/liquid becomes bubbly. After removing the pan from the oven, let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips and wait for 3 to 5 minutes, letting them soften and melt a bit, and then spread and smooth them into an even layer with a spatula. Optional: After smoothing the chocolate, add nuts, seeds, graham cracker crumbs, toffee bits, dried fruit, candy bits, or swirl in some peanut butter or other nut butter. Or use other types of chips, such as butterscotch, white, peanut butter, etc. either in addition to or in a half-and-half combination with the dark chocolate chips for your top layer. Let cool very well and if desired for expediting purposes, refrigerate or freeze until hardened. Break into pieces the size of your choice. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 4 mon

WHITE CHOCOLATE "CRACK" CORN

Steps:

• 1. In large pot (with lid,) over high / medium high heat, add the vegetable oil and 1 kernel of popcorn. Cover pot and wait for the kernel to pop. (You can also make this with microwave popcorn - just use a plain one, not buttered)
• 2. Add the remaining cup of popcorn. Cover and randomly shake the pot to keep the popcorn from burning. When the popping slows remove from heat and set aside. Pour the popcorn into a large plastic bowl that has a lid.
• 3. In double boiler (or you can microwave) melt the white chocolate, stirring occasionally so it does not burn.
• 4. Pour and stir the chocolate into the popcorn. When it's stirred in, place the lid on the bowl and shake vigorously to coat all popcorn.

CHOCOLATE CRACK

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with foil. Place saltine crackers salt side up and side-by-side in the pan as tightly as possible without overlapping. Use saltine pieces to fill any gaps at the end of the pan. Set aside.
• 2. In a medium nonstick saucepan melt butter over medium heat stirring frequently with a spatula. Once butter has melted, add brown sugar stirring to combine. Cook on medium heat until mixture starts to boil.(when it starts boiling time about 3 minutes.) Remove from heat and pour over saltines using spatula to spread sauce.
• 3. Bake crackers for 5 minutes or until butter mixture begins to bubble. Remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with chocolate allowing the heat to melt the chocolate about 2 minutes. Spread chocolate evenly with the spatula so all of the crackers are completely covered. Sprinkle with chopped pecans if desired. I usually put nuts on half. Refrigerate until chocolate sets and hardens. Break apart and serve.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE POPCORN CRACK

• Melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, about 5 minutes.
• Zest orange using a fine grater.
• Juice 1/2 of the orange and stir into melted chocolate mixture; pour over popcorn and mix well. Stir orange zest into popcorn mixture.
