This Cringle Christmas Crack Snack is not only easy, but it will go FAST! You have to try this at least once this holiday season. I promise you won't regret it! #ChristmasCrack #ChristmasCrackRecipe #ChristmasDessert

 

One of my FAVORITE recipes during the holidays is this Cringle Christmas Crack. It may be the only one you find on the internet NOT made with saltine crackers. Honestly, it’s like nothing you have ever had before. Made with delicious dried pineapple, white chocolate, cereal crisps, almonds, shaved coconut, and more.

Holiday Christmas Crack

It’s so easy, quick, and delicious. you will probably be making this more than once this holiday season.

One of the best parts of the holidays is all of the amazing desserts. I generally try and be “good” with my diet, but the holidays are always the hardest time. In fact, this is one of my favorite recipes, and it’s the one recipe that gets me off of my diet EVERY time.

What’s in Christmas Crack?

You may have seen a few recipes floating over the internet for Christmas Crack, but you won’t have one that tastes as good as this one. We actually don’t use saltine crackers in this recipe.

Here is everything you will need to make it:

  • cereal crisps
  • peanuts
  • almonds
  • white chocolate
  • pineapple tidbits (dried)
  • shredded coconut
  • sprinkles (optional)

Look no further for a delicious holiday snack, because this Cringle Christmas Snack is not only easy, but it will go FAST!

Before you can make this Cringle Christmas Crack, you will need to open your pineapple tidbits and place them in a dehydrator for a couple of hours. Or you can place them in the oven on 175 for 8-10 hours. I do this to get the majority of the moisture out of the pineapple so my Christmas Crack isn’t soggy.

Look no further for a delicious holiday snack, because this Cringle Christmas Snack is not only easy, but it will go FAST!

How do I make Christmas Crack?

To get started, you will need to heat the white chocolates in the microwave. I like to heat mine in a plastic container and heat them in one-minute increments. Stirring in between. It usually takes about 3-4 one minute cycles before they are completely melted.

Next, I gather the rest of the supplies on a plate. Dried pineapple. Almonds. Peanuts. Coconut. Cereal crisps.

Dump everything into the melted chocolate and stir to cover well.

Once all of the recipe mix is covered, spread evenly on a foil pan and then cover with sprinkles of your choice.

You can now either allow the recipe to dry for a couple of hours at room temp or if you are in a hurry and you have space, place the foil pan into the refrigerator and allow to cool for twenty minutes.

Break the Cringle Christmas Crack in small pieces and serve.

Just be warned, this amazing dessert recipe goes very fast, so you might want to make several batches this holiday season.
