Equipment

  • slice tin (28 x 18cm approx)

Ingredients

  • 6 salada crackers (saltine crackers)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 125 grams butter
  • 360 grams milk or dark chocolate
  • 50 grams white chocolate
  • silver cachous, red and green sprinkles, edible glitter (for decorating)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees celsius, fan-forced (or equivalent).
  • Grease a slice tin (approx 28 x 18cm) and line with baking paper, leaving paper overhanging at sides to assist with removal from tin later.
  • Line bottom of tin with saladas – they may double up in parts.
  • Combine sugar and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer, turning up heat if necessary, and simmer for 1 minute without stirring.
  • Pour over saladas and spread to edges with a spoon if necessary to ensure saladas are completely covered.
  • Cook for 5 minutes or until caramel starts to bubble.
  • Remove from oven and melt milk/dark chocolate by placing in microwave for 25 second bursts and stirring between each burst until completely melted. Pour melted milk/dark chocolate over the caramel layer.
  • Melt the white chocolate by placing in microwave for 25 second bursts and stirring between each burst until completely melted. Drizzle lines of white chocolate over the milk/dark chocolate layer.
  • Decorate with silver cachous, red and green sprinkles, edible glitter.
  • Allow to cool a little and then place in the fridge to set completely.
  • Once set, cut into shards using a sharp knife. Or "crack" it into pieces with your hands!
  • Store Christmas Crack in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
