I know this is 5 years old but I gotta comment how wholesome this video is. Your helpers are adorable
Just wanted to comment and say that I'm pretty sure I've watched this video every year during Christmas t I've for the last 4 (maybe 5) years.
Yours is the best explanation, is quick and to the point, and seems to be the only one that provides actual measurements.
Thank you guys so much!
Thank you so much for including your precious helpers! Warms my heart.....that’s the way to parent! 🥰
Perfect amount of time for every step! Thanks. I had these once about 10 years ago and now I get to make them. They're the best.
Great presentation! Good tempo, clear and concise, videos appropriate and helpful. I’m definitely going to check out more of your videos. Thank you!!
umm an all time favourite. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe to this simple yet addictive treat.
It's my favorite too. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
I love this video! Thank you for sharing. I'll be making this this weekend!! You have a precious family!
I never heard of this candy but I’m going to try it because it looks delicious! You kids are adorable!
Love this candy; make it every Christmas.
Really enjoyed watching you and your beautiful kids. Love seeing kids in the kitchen. Enjoy the holidays!!
Nicely done. And I love your little helpers too.
Thanks for reminding me of this super easy and delicious recipe! I'm adding it to my list for this year. 😊👍
I watch this video every year for the best Christmas treat!!! Thank you so much for all your tips!!!
I just made this tonight and followed your recipe and it was so delicious everyone ate it right up thank you so much
love, "sweet helpers = sweet candy," can't wait to try!
Made these last year and just looked up your video to make them again this year. Thank you!!
I am really glad I found this. My mother in law used to make this. She passed away a few years ago and we haven't found her recipe for it. I know once difference is she used graham crackers. It was delicious and addictive so it went by the name Christmas Crack.
I just made this for the first time today. great idea and I added a small bag of trail mix to the top of mine. It's cooling now and I can't wait to break into it.
Excellent and easy to make!! Thank you guys!!!
Love this candy, I usually sprinkle some chopped walnuts on top also. Just another added taste. God Bless and Merry Christmas.
Barbara Bell I just watched this video and had the same thought about adding nuts...and/or shredded coconut!!!🤭😮👍🏽
This was something I had never seen before. Looks good and something I will try soon.
Thanks, Bri! This was our back to school treat today
Gave a thumbs up just for having the recipe in the description! My friend makes this all the time for Christmas gift giving, it never ends up in the gifts so I have yet to try it!
I’m definitely trying this . Thank you
Awesome!! I love this candy i discovered it last yr. but mine comes out tacky and it doesn't break apart so easy now i know that i have to watch and stir the toffee for exactly 4 mins!!! Thank you! Merry Christmas
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!
Thank you for the recipe. I had this at a Christmas party but didn't know how to make it. I am going to make it now !
Bri thanks for sharing looks yummy and so simple must try always looking for something new.
i love this stuff
I have to try this! Looks yummy and fun!
Making this with my girls tonight ❤️ And it was so good to see y’all after a long internet break!
I haven't made this in forever, so good, sprinkle chopped toasted pecans on the chocolate, mmmm
Love this. Thanks so much.
I really love all of your cool recipes. Natural and yummy. :) and kid friendly
Thanks for sharing 💝
I love your home and your homestead life
I always put toasted chopped nuts on the chocolate. Love this recipe.
My mom made these growing up. Always popular at parties. We called them heath bars. Sometimes used graham crackers, depending on desired taste.
Thanks for sharing!
Perfect Job Briana!
Awesome update thank you for sharing have a blessed day
We make this every year too!! We call it toffee ❤️
Thank you kindly for sharing, you have the best helpers!! Blessings..
True :)
Ok
I love this stuff so much, it's one of my favorite treats. yummy.
Thanks for this going to give it a try.
i have never had this before but plan to make it soon for my kids. ☺️
The original and best bark recipe.
Love this stuff! Try putting some crushed nuts and kosher salt or even crushed candy canes!
I had this a lot when I was little one..called it toffee cracker with or without chocolate, put a big batch in a ice cream bucket and put in freezer and they would be some awesome cold perfect crackers cuts😋
Great video your kids are so cute,”it’s a puzzle”! I make this all the time for work. I keep coming back cause I forget the oven degree and time. 😃be well ❤️ N ☮️
Thanks so much!!! I'll be taking this to my knitting Christmas party.
Fun!
Family favorite!!!
Be sure to use a quality sugar, over the Thanksgiving holiday I was trying to make a caramel sauce and is turned in to a sugar brick twice. So, that part didn't get done. I've made these sauces many times. That looks like a great recipe. I love your patience with the little ones.
Bringing this to work tomorrow
Oh my!!
You're a delight!
Yummm.
Love your shirt!
You seem so NICE!!! :) Bless your beautiful family!!
I have watched a couple of videos of people making this, and the part with the butter and brown sugar, they were just putting the sticks of butter in and the brown sugar, and melting them together, which could burn!! Your way is so much smarter and easier, melting the butter first then adding the brown sugar! So I am gonna follow your way of making this!! Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas and God Bless you and yours!!
Merry Christmas!
yummy
I just made some tonight it's cooling right now. I used Ghirardelli chocolate chips and I can't wait till it's done
Some folks even sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the chocolate. Or, switch out crushed candy canes or pretzels, etc, if you have a nut allergy. I like the idea of using white chocolate chips with crushed candy canes. Yum!
My family makes this with pretzels, I am going to try this year w pretzel crisps, the flat ones. We call it crack too.
This stuff is awesome, but I use Club Crackers since saltines are now not as crispy as they used to be. I also add nuts. We call it pine bark for some reason. It is the combination of salty and sweet - just amazing!
I used to get this from a Mennonite lady I went to church with back in the day. Yum!
This recipe has been around more then 20 years. I have made it dozens of times with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, mint and butterscotch chips. Any flavor works and yiu can add chopped or slivered nuts to top from peanuts,almonds, pecans, cashews you nsme it.
It has been passed down 4 generations in my family as a quick and easy snack to serve.
Nice and easy! Looks delicious too!
Hi there....l am so looking forward to trying these.....they are already in the freezer. thanks for sharing.
YUM! Let me know what you think.
ART and BRI will...took it to a pot luck at church last night...everyone loved it....and there was none left to bring home ...bummer. ...oh well l plan on making it again this week.
@@Brifromscratch I missed the ingredients (amounts). could you help m3 please?
Make Christmas crack every year. My fav too ! Watch you every nite. Love your family ! Oxox...Grammy Marcia
Beautiful little girls 💕💕💕
I'm making for christmas. Was thinking it would be good with the little Andes mint chocolates
💖
I loved your video! I might have to try this one! I made my Oma's Christmas candy the other day. Will be sharing it on December 15th. ;) Thanks for sharing your special recipe! I'll let you know if I try it!
Thanks!
We love this candy at our house! Just a side note, the chocolate won’t curdle with water, it seizes, and is then useless in this application, as you mention.
What a sweet woman and a great recipe. Thx
I forgot how long you keep it in the oven.
Thank you
That guy down on 4th Street knows all about Christmas crack
Do I put the chocolate chips on AFTER it comes out of the oven?
I really like your shirt! It looks very comfy. Do you mind sharing where you got it from?
I got this at GAP a few years ago.
I recommend using semisweet chocolate chips... not too sweet, not too bitter.
Brenna Marie
Shut yo ass up and eat
@@lildae6979 rude
i feel like bitter would be a cute contrast though
I prefer milk chocolate. I want my desserts sweet! The salt already is the contrast, don't need to add bitter also!
I make this every year, but I can't remember if I spray the pan
I have a co-worker that makes this stuff... SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDD!
It is over. the. top.
We called it butter brickle bars :)
I really wish you'd show us exactly the color change hope looking for while it's still in the pot so we know what we're looking for.
I made this and its awesome. I choose to call it Christmas Crackers. I don't want my girls having a history with anything crack. Lol. We love it. I also didn't need the thermometer. I did like you said. I just watched it to change colours.
Can we mix white milk and dark chocolate chips for fun color swirls?
Great idea!
My oven doesn't work can I do it w out oven?
Thanks for sharing. Came out great accept what's the trick to keep the foil from sticking ? I had to peel little pieces that stuck and ripped off.
Cover your foil with butter or use a non stick spray. I use the butter and mine hasn't ever stuck to the foil.
Yum 👅✌️️✌️️
How much brown sugar?
I much brown sugar?
When I made this it seems like the crackers were soft f what did I do wrong ??
Dont know if you'll see this. I make this every year. I forget do you spray the pan? Ty if anyone answers.
She doesn’t say nor does Bri’s write up say it’s sprayed.
@@suer8343 Ty for your reply.
I tried and burned my sugar.... So high heat medium heat? And stir all the time during that 4 mins??? What colour really should it be...
i need more instructions on the caramelization too
i fooked mine up
I never get it where it's going for the holiday, it's all gone lol
I love Christmas Crack! My friend Tonya made it every year but now she's 600 miles away and we don't get it and she wouldn't share her happy recipe
You should make some and mail it to her :)
mmm...crack..

*I've watched a LOT of "HOWTO: Toffee" videos lately. lol*
*In each and every one, there's just two ingedients: butter & sugar.*
*But yours is the first video I've seen that uses butter & brown sugar.*
*Does using brown sugar instead of regular sugar make any sort of difference ...?*
*Thank you!*
🙂👍🏻
I know your comment is four months old, but not sure if you got an answer to your question. Personally I prefer to use brown sugar, as it's colored with a bit of molasses. I think it tastes better. There's no difference in consistency etc. Hope that helps!
@@queenbunnyfoofoo6112
*Yes, that helps a great deal!*
*Thank you so very very much!*
🙂👍🏻
@@CaryMGVR You're welcome! Check the ingredient list on the brown sugar to make sure they used molasses... occasionally you'll find one that uses carmel coloring ..which isn't good. Have a good one!
Me and my grandma just made them there still in the freezer
