CHRISTMAS REINDEER CRACK RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• In a large bowl pour your pretzels, Fritos, Bugles, Chex Mix, peanuts, and M&Ms. Place the melting chocolate or bark in a bowl & microwave for 90 seconds. Stir and, if needed, heat an additional 15 seconds until it's smooth and creamy. Watch it closely, and stop to stir every 15 seconds, otherwise it may burn.For more reliable results, use double boiler. Drizzle melted chocolate over the mixture in the bowl and mix around to coat it all. Once fully coated, take a large cookie sheet and pour coated mixture onto the sheet and spread it out and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, break into pieces. Store in an air tight container.

CHRISTMAS CRACK CORN RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Prepare the popcorn using whatever method you prefer. If using a pot, 1 cup corn, 1/3 cup oil (grapeseed, vegetable, or canola) and ½ teaspoon salt should do the trick. If using microwave popcorn, buy an unbuttered, lightly salted variety. And did you know you can make your own microwave popcorn using a paper bag? Grease a large mixing bowl with oil and measure out 12 cups of popcorn into the bowl. In a medium pot or saucepan (make sure the sides are at least 3 inches high), add the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and ½ teaspoon salt. Measure out the vanilla and baking soda and have ready. Prep the peanuts (if using) before heating the sugar mixture. You will also want to have two spoons or rubber spatulas close at hand, and a large baking sheet with sides or roasting pan. Coat all of these with a little oil. Heat the sugar/butter mixture until it comes to a boil. Stir constantly for five minutes on a low boil. Take off the heat and add the baking soda and vanilla (it will get foamy). Stir to incorporate. Pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn (add the peanuts). Mix with the spoons/spatulas as best you can. Don't try to mix with your hands-the caramel will burn. Don't worry if it doesn't mix evenly. You can fix that in the oven. Dump the corn and caramel onto the prepared baking sheet, spread out as much as possible, and place in the preheated oven. Check after 10 to 15 minutes and stir the mixture. The caramel will soften and you should be able to mix it more thoroughly. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Allow the corn to cool completely and break up any large pieces before proceeding. Melt the chocolate, either in a double boiler or in the microwave (50% power, in 30 second increments), until just melted. Using a spoon, drizzle the chocolate over the pan of caramel corn. You want big chocolate bits, not tiny drizzles. Do not stir. Let chill in the fridge for 15 minutes before packaging or eating. Makes one large baking sheet of popcorn. It's never enough.

BARGAIN HUNTERS BOARD CHRISTMAS CRACK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a jelly roll pan with parchment or wax paper.
• Place the saltines neatly in the pan, not overlapping. The pan should hold 40 crackers pretty neatly. I break the last row in half to fit tightly.
• Melt the butter and add the brown sugar. Keep on med-hi to hi and stir constantly for 5 minutes exactly.
• BE AWARE that hot sugar is really fracking hot. Don't consider touching it.
• Pour the sugar mixture onto the saltines and spread out over all the crackers. I use a frosting spreader. Use a fork to move any wayward crackers back in line.
• Put in in the oven for 3-5 minutes.
• Pull out and let sit for a minute, then empty the bag of chocolate chips all over the top. Back in the oven for a minute, then spread out the now melty yumminess.
• Sprinkle some salt on top. This is optional. In some universes, I guess.
• Put it in the freezer for 30 minutes or let it sit out for hours. It's a pretty easy decision for me, really.
• Break up into cracker sized pieces.
• Hide in the closet and eat 10 pieces before letting anyone know you made them.
