I know it can't be "healthy" but I am now averaging around one sleeve of saltine crackers a day (approx 40 crackers or 400 calories) as it helps with nausea and upset stomach...

I guess it's something and better than eating nothing...

Also, thank God they're inexpensive...I had a friend who craved steak when preggo...at least I have cheap taste

One sleeve of soda crackers, or saltines, contains about 40 crackers, though this number varies slightly depending upon the specific manufacturer. Saltines have about 70 calories per serving, which is about 5 crackers.

The weight of a serving of soda crackers is 16 grams. These crackers have approximately 1.5 grams of fat, 150 milligrams of sodium and no fiber. Compared to crackers made with whole grains, the nutritional content of saltines is only fair, and there is no significant difference between popular brands and store brands. All have a mild taste that is salty and reminiscent of flour. Name brands cost about 10 cents per serving, while store brands are about 6 cents cheaper.

My search is over for the perfect easy meatloaf. Excellent flavor.. I think the Worcestershire really does the trick. I used red onion for the grated onion, which I grated on the finest grating blade. I only had 1 cup of breadcrumbs, so I used cracker crumbs for the remaining cup. This makes 2 meatloaves, about 8 slices each loaf.

I've been forgetting to review this. I first made it back in October and we've had it several times since then. It is SOOOOOO good. I make it with 2.5 pounds of ground turkey, a sleeve of crushed saltine crackers, and a least 5 T worcestershire. I cook it for 45 minutes, put the ketchup on and cook it another 30 minutes. The comment box is over the instructions, so I can't see how many loaves it says to make. I make two and place them at either end of a 9x13 dish. Thank you for this great recipe!

I made this on 10/14/07,and since it was just me(I only get meatloaf when SO isn't home)I cut this recipe in half.Even as I was mixing this,I thought that there was way too much breadcrumbs.And after tasting the finished product,I was right.If I do make this again I'm going to use just a 1/2 cup of crumbs,and maybe add some garlic powder.Thank you for posting,and "Keep Smiling:)"

With this classic Christmas treat, saltine crackers get a double dunking: first in caramel and then in chocolate.

The result is a salty, crunchy, chocolate-covered treat that's nearly impossible to stop eating.

How to Make Christmas Cracker Candy

What Is Christmas Cracker Candy?

Constant stirring as you make the caramel mixture gives you a finished candy that's closer to the texture of pralines than English toffee. You have a deep caramel flavor, but the bites are fairly soft and easy to chew. The crispiness comes from the crackers themselves.

Ways to Top Your Cracker Candy

You can get fancy and sprinkle nuts, coconut flakes, or holiday-colored sprinkles on top if you want, but I’m a purist when it comes to my Christmas cracker candy. I like it just as is.

The only thing I might consider is a sprinkling of crunchy Maldon sea salt on top of the chocolate to make them even more crunchy and salty. But I’m fearful that if I do that, I might not stop eating them!

Is This the Same As Christmas Crack?

We used to call this delicious treat "Christmas Crack," which is its most common name. But several readers wrote asking us to change the name because it makes light of something that is a very real addiction for many people. We agree, hence this recipe's new name "Christmas Cracker Candy."

How Prevent the Layers From Separating

The chocolate layer separating from the caramel layer is a common problem with Christmas cracker candy. Here are a few tips to help prevent that from happening:

• Use chopped chocolate instead of chips, and the chocolate layer will be more likely to stick. Chocolate chips have a non-melting coating to help them keep their shape. But when they melt, the coating can prevent the chocolate from sticking to the toffee.
• Avoid chocolates with a really high percentage of cacao. These chocolates have more of a tendency to become brittle and separate from the cracker layer.
• Make sure your chocolate is fully melted so it's ready to go when the saltine toffee layer is ready.
• Let the toffee layer cool for 1 minute and no longer! The toffee needs to still be quite warm for the chocolate to stick. (If you forget and the caramel cools, just pop it back in the oven for a few minutes.
• If your chocolate isn’t melting or spreading easily on the hot toffee (or caramel and crackers) in the sheet pan, use a hair dryer to re-melt the chocolate until it’s workable. Or pop the pan in a 300°F oven for a minute or so.
• Cool overnight in the fridge (not the freezer). Freezing means the layers cool rapidly, which can sometimes cause them to separate. If you need to freeze, let the crackers warm up for about 10 minutes before cracking.

Sometimes despite all your best efforts, the chocolate melts at a temperature that makes it shrink when it hardens, pulling it away from the toffee layer. Next time, try a different brand of chocolate.

Ways to Adapt This Recipe

• Swap the saltines for Ritz crackers, graham crackers, or any other cracker
• Swap the dark chocolate for any other favorite chocolate. Or add a drizzle of white chocolate over top!
• While the chocolate is still melty, sprinkle on a half cup of chopped nuts, coconut flakes, crushed pretzels, dried fruit, or anything else that strikes your fancy!

Christmas Cracker Candy

Prep Time 10 mins

Cook Time 15 mins

Cooling Time 8 hrs

Total Time 8 hrs 25 mins

Servings 35 pieces

Feel free to add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or coconut flakes on top once you’ve poured the melted chocolate.

You can use darker chocolate with higher percentages of cacao, but these chocolates sometimes become brittle and separate from the cracker layer.

We recommend cooling this candy overnight in the fridge since cooling in the freezer can cause the chocolate layer and the cracker layer to separate when you break the candy. If you need to freeze, let the crackers warm up for about 10 minutes before cracking.
