CHRISTMAS CRACK

Jules Cavanagh
This is my version of the viral Christmas Crack. I use potato chips for a delicious sweet and salty balance as well as adding some gingerbread spices to the caramel - just to elevate the Christmas vibes!

Ingredients
  

  • 227 g salted butter
  • 220 g brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon golden syrup
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 140 g Salted potato chips I used Eta Uppercuts Sea Salt chips
  • 40 g pretzels
  • 200 g chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Line a large oven tray with baking paper and evenly spread the potato chips across the tray, sprinkle over the pretzels.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup over medium heat.
  • Once it comes to a rolling simmer, let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes so the caramel is nice and thick.
  • Remove from the heat and add in the gingerbread spices, stirring well.
  • Carefully pour the gingerbread caramel evenly all over the chips and pretzels, and place the tray in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and evenly sprinkle over the chocolate chips.
  • Pop the Christmas Crack tray back into the oven for a few minutes just until the chocolate chips soften.
  • Remove from the oven and leave the Christmas crack to set, then break it up into chunks to serve.
