Line your crock pot with foil to prevent sticking and aid in removal. For smaller crock pots, parchment paper is suggested for easier lifting.

Layer saltine crackers to completely cover the bottom of the lined crock pot.

In a separate saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and brown sugar together over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and bubbling.

Carefully pour the hot, buttery sugar mixture evenly over the saltine crackers in the crock pot, ensuring they are all coated.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 1 to 2 hours, or until the mixture is bubbly and appears caramelized.

Once cooked, sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot cracker mixture. Let them sit for a few minutes to soften from the residual heat, then spread the melted chocolate to create an even layer.

While the chocolate is still soft, immediately sprinkle the optional chopped nuts, festive sprinkles, or crushed candy canes on top for decoration and added flavor.

Allow the "Christmas Crack" to cool completely. Once firm, use the foil (or parchment paper) to lift the entire batch out of the crock pot.

Finally, cut the cooled candy into squares or desired pieces. Store in an airtight container to keep it crisp and chewy for several days.
