Ingredients

  • 48 saltine crackers
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tub cream cheese frosting
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 2 cups white baking chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Red cookie icing
  • Green sanding sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • Place your crackers in an even layer onto the baking sheet.
  • Add the butter and brown sugar to a medium sized saucepan over medium heat and bring just to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly or until the mixture has thickened. Pour the mixture over the crackers and gently spread with a frosting knife or spatula.
  • Bake the crackers for 5 minutes in the oven, then remove and allow to fully cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese frosting and marshmallow fluff until fully incorporated. Spread evenly over cooled crackers. (Note: you can warm the frosting for a few seconds in the microwave to help the filling spread more easily).
  • Place crackers in the refrigerator to chill for one hour.
  • Melt the baking chips in the microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Mix in the coconut oil until combined and pour over the chilled crackers. Use a spatula or frosting knife to spread evenly (some of the chocolate may mix slightly with the cream cheese filling). Sprinkle the top with the green sanding sugar.
  • Return your tray to the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, or to the freezer for 2-3 hours to chill and harden.
  • Remove crackers and “crack” or cut into smaller chunks. Use your cookie icing to drizzle lines across each chunk. Allow the icing to set before serving. Enjoy!
