Used pecan halves as a base, made the toffee, melted choclate chips on top, and sprinkled pecan pieces over. Hope my dh likes this version better, he didn't like the one with the saltines, crazy man.

I'm sure that I couldn't be trusted alone with it for sure! lol. I used to have a huge Santa collection and a few that looked like ones in your son's collection. I even used to make paper mache Santas. Now I just have a previous few left after downsizing.

You are right that it is almost addictive. I think last year was the first year I made it and it was a big hit. <br />It's so simple and economical too, for a pan full of delicious candy.mRhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-88339232054533954742015-12-20T10:38:58.750-08:002015-12-20T10:38:58.750-08:00I bought the ingredients to make Christmas crack -...I bought the ingredients to make Christmas crack - I don't have a good record with toffee (turns out more like fudge) but I'm going to give it a go.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-75837263415416404702015-12-20T06:14:58.518-08:002015-12-20T06:14:58.518-08:00My family must be the oddball on the planet when i...My family must be the oddball on the planet when it comes to Xmas Crack. I made this last year, sent half of it to the employee lounge at my Rite-Aid store and kept the other half for the fandamily here.<br />The half for R-A disappeared in record time and wasn't around long enough for the second shift at the store to get any. lol<br />While I ended up throwing out a large amount that I kept for our household to eat. Sacrilege, right? We aren't ultra rich/sweet sweet eaters I have found. Or it could be that the BOURBON FUDGE I also made was too stiff of a competition for the CRACK. ;-)slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-611012845050758332015-12-20T05:36:31.481-08:002015-12-20T05:36:31.481-08:00I've had this before, but have never made it. ...I've had this before, but have never made it.

I made this for the first time last night and oh my word it is good. Even hubby liked it! Will definitely be adding it to our rotation. <br /><br />I love all the Santas. I, too, have a Santa collection-- which happened quite by accident; just ended up collecting some over the years. I don't have one space to display them all so they end up being scattered around our living room. Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245921501363936089noreply@blogger.com
