Looking for a sweet and salty treat that will wow your family and friends this holiday season? Look no further than Crockpot Christmas Crack! This delightful concoction combines crunchy pretzels, sweet chocolate, and a hint of caramel to create a decadent snack that’s perfect for holiday gatherings or gift-giving.
Ingredients
- 1 bag (16 oz) of mini pretzels
- 2 cups of chocolate chips (milk chocolate or semi-sweet)
- 1 cup of peanut butter chips
- 1 cup of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Sprinkles or crushed candy canes (optional) for topping
Instructions
1. Prepare Your Crockpot
Set your Crockpot to low heat and add the butter and brown sugar. Stir until melted and combined.
2. Add the Chips
Once the butter and sugar mixture is melted, stir in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Allow them to melt completely, stirring occasionally.
3. Mix in the Pretzels
Add the mini pretzels to the melted chocolate mixture and gently stir until all pretzels are coated.
4. Cook
Cover the Crockpot and let it cook on low for about 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. This will help ensure an even coating and prevent burning.
5. Spread and Cool
Once the cooking time is up, spread the mixture out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle with festive toppings like crushed candy canes or colorful sprinkles.
6. Let It Set
Allow the Christmas Crack to cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
