Scale
Gather these simple ingredients to make your Cadbury Egg Crack:
- 1 sleeve of saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk or dark chocolate chips
- 6–8 mini Cadbury Creme Eggs, roughly chopped
- 6–8 mini Cadbury Caramel Eggs, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup pastel M&M’s or mini chocolate eggs
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet
- Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line the Pan – Cover a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, then lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the Crackers – Lay out the saltine crackers in a single layer, covering the entire pan.
Step 2: Make the Toffee
- Melt the Butter and Sugar – In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar, stirring continuously.
- Bring to a Boil – Once melted, bring to a boil and let it bubble for 3 minutes without stirring.
- Add Vanilla – Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour Over Crackers – Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture over the crackers, spreading it evenly.
Step 3: Bake the Base
- Bake – Place the pan in the oven for 5 minutes. The toffee will bubble up—this is normal!
- Remove from Oven – Once the toffee looks set, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Step 4: Add the Chocolate Layer
- Melt the Chocolate – Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then spread with a spatula until smooth.
- Sprinkle Toppings – While the chocolate is still warm, scatter the chopped Cadbury Eggs, M&M’s, and other toppings over the surface.
- Drizzle White Chocolate (Optional) – Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring in between. Drizzle over the top for a decorative finish.
Step 5: Cool and Crack
- Let It Set – Allow the Cadbury Egg Crack to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge for another 30 minutes until fully set.
- Break into Pieces – Once firm, use your hands or a knife to break the candy into bite-sized pieces.
