Tips:
- Use fresh crackers for the best results. Stale crackers will not hold up well in the candy.
- If you are using chocolate chips, be sure to use semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips. Milk chocolate chips will be too sweet for this recipe.
- You can use any type of nuts that you like in this recipe. Some popular choices include peanuts, almonds, and walnuts.
- Be sure to spread the cracker mixture out evenly in the baking dish so that it cooks evenly.
- Watch the candy carefully while it is baking. It can burn easily, so it is important to stir it frequently.
- Let the candy cool completely before cutting it into bars. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and festive snack that everyone will love.
