Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the cracker candy will taste. Use high-quality butter, sugar, and crackers for the best results.
  • Don't overcook the sugar: The sugar should be melted and golden brown, but not burnt. If the sugar is burnt, the cracker candy will have a bitter taste.
  • Be careful when pouring the hot sugar: The hot sugar can cause severe burns. Pour the sugar slowly and carefully, and wear gloves if necessary.
  • Let the cracker candy cool completely: The cracker candy needs to cool completely before you can break it into pieces. If you try to break it while it is still warm, it will be too soft and sticky.
  • Store the cracker candy in an airtight container: The cracker candy can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Cracker candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just 4 ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy candy that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give cracker candy a try. You won't be disappointed!
