Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or your favorite nuts

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Oven mitts

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and light brown sugar, stirring constantly until smooth and bubbling, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Graham cracker crumbs until fully combined.
  5. Pour the crumb mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly and pack it down firmly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot base. Let sit for 2 minutes, then spread the softened chocolate with a spatula.
  8. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the melted chocolate and gently press them down so they adhere.
  9. Let the Christmas crack cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour, before breaking it into pieces.

Notes

Let the Christmas crack cool completely before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks at room temperature or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
