Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup crushed pretzels

1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)

1 cup festive holiday M&M's (or chocolate candies)

Sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and brown sugar together, stirring constantly until it becomes a smooth mixture (about 3-4 minutes). Add the vanilla extract and stir well.

      Pour the caramel mixture over the parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly.

        Sprinkle the crushed pretzels and chopped pecans over the caramel layer, pressing lightly to adhere.

          Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, until the caramel is bubbly.

            Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Let them sit for a minute to soften, then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top.

              Finish by adding the festive M&M's evenly across the chocolate layer. Lightly sprinkle sea salt on top for that perfect sweet and salty flavor.

                Allow the Christmas Crack to cool completely; you can expedite this by placing it in the refrigerator. Once set, break into pieces and serve.
