What is Christmas without Christmas Cracker Candy? I am obsessed with cracker candy this year and have played around with a couple of recipes. This White Chocolate Christmas Cracker Candy one of my new favorites along with my standard Christmas Cracker Candy. The great thing about this recipe is there is no tricky timing and thermometers . It is a great candy to make for beginners or the most seasoned cooks.

Start off my gathering all of your ingredients. At this time you can chop your nuts and sugar your cranberries while the oven preheats.

Line a cookie sheet with foil and lightly spray it with non stick cooking spray. In a small sauce pan melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat. Bring the sugar mixture up to a boil for about 2 minutes. Now, drizzle the brown sugar mixture over the crackers evenly then take a rubber spatula spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Remove the tray out of the oven, it the crackers have spread take a spatula push them together tightly. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the crackers and cover with foil and set aside for 5-7 minutes. Once the chips set carefully spread the white chocolate chips . Sprinkle with sugared cranberries and pistachios. Let cool completely then break apart.

This White Chocolate Christmas Cracker Candy is great for not only eating but for gift giving !!
