We always loved going to grandma’s house, but visiting around the holidays was even sweeter. She would make all sorts of candies for us to munch on as we played with our cousins and opened up our presents. The best was her Toffee Crack! We grandkids really thought the name was quite funny and we loved the taste of it even more. She’d take salty crackers and drizzle them with some homemade toffee, then add a bit of melted chocolate and top them with all of our favorite things. The way she’d sprinkle them with the satisfying flaky salt ensured there was just the right amount of salty to go with the sweet. Toffee Crack is a must at all of our holiday gatherings now and we think you should follow suit, because it’s just so tasty!
