Tips:

Use fresh crackers for the best results. Stale crackers will be more difficult to coat in the chocolate and may not hold up as well.
If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to heat it on low power and stir frequently to prevent it from burning.
To make the chocolate coating even more decadent, add a tablespoon or two of peanut butter, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
For a fun and festive twist, try using different colored sprinkles or chopped candy canes.
Cracker candy can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. You can also freeze it for up to two months.

Conclusion:

Cracker candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover crackers, and it's also a fun activity to do with kids. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and salty treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give cracker candy a try.
