Tips:

  • For best results, use fresh soda crackers. Stale crackers will not absorb the syrup as well and will result in a less flavorful candy.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the syrup. If it gets too thick, it will be difficult to stir and will not coat the crackers evenly.
  • Work quickly when dipping the crackers in the syrup. The syrup will start to harden quickly, so you need to work quickly to get all of the crackers coated.
  • If you want to add nuts to the candy, stir them into the syrup after it has been removed from the heat.
  • Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Nutty soda cracker candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover soda crackers and can be customized to your own taste. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and festive candy that everyone will love.
