Ingredients
Scale
- 40 saltine crackers
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup salted butter
- 3 cups white chocolate chips divided
- Pink gel food coloring
- 1/2 cup pastel Easter M&M’s
- 1/4 cup chopped mini eggs
- 2 tablespoons pastel sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, then arrange your saltine crackers in a single layer. Trust me, the parchment paper is your best friend—it’ll save you from a sticky cleanup later.
- Make the toffee. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it’s fully melted, add the brown sugar and whisk until combined. Keep whisking as it cooks for about 3-4 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture looks smooth and bubbly. (Pro tip: Don’t walk away during this step! Toffee can burn in an instant if you’re not careful.)
- Pour and bake. Remove the toffee from the heat and immediately pour it over the crackers, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Pop the pan into the oven and bake for about 4 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling.
- Add the chocolate. Take the pan out of the oven and sprinkle 2 cups of white chocolate chips over the hot toffee layer. Wait a minute or two for the chocolate to soften, then use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
- Create the swirl. Melt the remaining white chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Add 1-2 drops of pink gel food coloring and mix well. Drop spoonfuls of the pink chocolate over the white layer and use a fork to swirl them together. Don’t overthink this—the more imperfect, the better!
- Decorate. While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle on your mini eggs, M&Ms, and sprinkles. Be generous—this is the fun part!
- Chill and break. Place the pan in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or until the candy is completely hardened. Once it’s set, break it into chunky pieces and enjoy.
Notes
Serving and presentation ideas
Arrange your Easter Crack on a festive plate or tray, and sprinkle a few extra candies around for decoration. If you’re gifting it, pack the pieces into cellophane bags tied with colorful ribbons. It also makes a great centerpiece for your dessert table—just pile the pieces high on a cake stand for an eye-catching display.
