Bourbon Maple pecan Christmas crack

​​

INGREDIENTS

1 sleeve (4oz.) Saltine soda crackers

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup Fulton's Organic Maple Syrup

1/4 cup bourbon whiskey (can substitute another whiskey)

1 tsp kosher salt, divided

1 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 cups toasted pecan pieces

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

 

INSTRUCTIONS

 

Arrange crackers in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Place butter, brown sugar, Fulton's Organic Maple Syrup, bourbon and 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium pot. Bring to a bubble, stirring often.

​

Attach a candy thermometer and cook mixture, stirring frequently, until temperature reaches 280F (138C).

​

Remove from heat, stir in the baking soda and pour over the crackers.

​

Immediately scatter the pecans evenly over the surface, pressing lightly with the back of a spatula.

​

Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tsp of salt and mini chocolate chips.

​

Cool completely (10 minutes in the freezer speeds up the process) and break into shards.

Store in a cool dry place.

Enjoy!
