Halloween Crack: The Ultimate Sweet and Salty Treat
Halloween Crack is the ultimate sweet-and-salty snack that will disappear fast!
As Halloween approaches, there’s no better time to indulge in festive treats that are easy to make and perfect for the whole family. This Halloween Crack is one of those recipes you’ll want to make every year.
It combines sweet cinnamon graham crackers, rich caramel, and melted chocolate, finished off with fun Halloween candies. It’s the ultimate sweet-and-salty snack that will disappear fast at any occasion!
How to Make Halloween Crack:
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange graham crackers in a single layer on the sheet.
Make the Caramel: Melt butter and brown sugar in a saucepan, stirring until it becomes bubbly and thick. Pour the hot caramel over the crackers and spread out evenly on crackers.
This is my favorite stainless saucepan I use and my favorite large baking sheet.
Bake It: Place the caramel coated crackers in the oven for about 4-5 minutes until the caramel is bubbly and evenly spread.
Add the Chocolate: Once you take the crackers out of the oven, sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot caramel. Wait a minute for the chocolate to soften, then spread it into an even layer.
Top with Halloween Fun: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your choice of Halloween candies and decorations on top. Press them in lightly so they stick.
Chill and Break: Refrigerate the candy for at least 2 hours to let everything harden. Once it’s set, break the sheets into uneven, bite-sized pieces.
