Ingredients for the Easter Crack Candy

  • Saltine Crackers – These form the crisp, sturdy base that holds the toffee and chocolate layers together.
  • Butter – Essential for making the rich toffee layer; it adds flavor and ensures that perfect crackly texture.
  • Brown Sugar – Melts with the butter to create a golden, caramel-like toffee.
  • White Chocolate Chips – Melted and spread on top for a creamy, sweet layer.
  • Mini Chocolate Eggs – Festive and crunchy, they add pops of color and extra chocolate goodness.
  • Pastel Sprinkles – For a fun, decorative finish that makes each piece look celebration-ready.

How To Make the Easter Crack Candy

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer, covering the entire baking sheet.

Step 2: Make the Toffee Layer

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Stir continuously until the mixture bubbles and thickens (about 3–5 minutes). Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the crackers and spread it with a spatula.

Step 3: Bake Until Golden

Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling and slightly caramelized.

Step 4: Add the Chocolate Layer

Remove the tray from the oven and immediately sprinkle white chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a minute to soften, then spread into an even layer with a spatula.

Step 5: Decorate with Easter Toppings

Quickly press mini chocolate eggs into the melted chocolate and finish with pastel sprinkles. Work fast before the chocolate sets.

Step 6: Cool and Break into Pieces

Allow the candy to cool completely—placing it in the fridge for 30 minutes speeds up the process. Once firm, break it into irregular pieces and serve.


Serving and Storing Easter Crack Candy

This candy is best served chilled or at room temperature. Its crispy toffee base and creamy chocolate layer hold up beautifully, making it a fantastic make-ahead dessert for gatherings. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to a month—just thaw before serving.
