Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final product will be. Use real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality chocolate.
- Don't overcook the sugar mixture: The sugar mixture should be cooked until it reaches the soft ball stage, which is 235-240 degrees Fahrenheit. If you overcook it, the candy will be too hard.
- Be careful when adding the baking soda: The baking soda will cause the candy to foam up, so be careful not to add too much. Add it slowly and stir constantly.
- Pour the candy onto a greased baking sheet: This will help to prevent the candy from sticking. You can also use a silicone baking mat.
- Let the candy cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent the candy from crumbling.
- Store the candy in airtight container: This will help to keep the candy fresh and prevent it from drying out. You can store the candy at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Christmas Crack is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for the holiday season. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a festive and delicious treat that everyone will love. So get creative and have fun with it!
