While candy corn can be controversial and Reese’s Peanut Butter cups are favorite Halloween treat, Halloween Crack might be the sweetest bite to keep all those ghouls and goblins happy on the spooky night. How to you make this tasty recipe?

Certain dessert recipes capture people’s attention. If you be those famous pumpkin bars or maybe it is that cinnamon coffee cake that is the perfect bite to start the day. No matter the recipe, the flavor delights in many ways.

Often around Halloween, people are looking to find ways to use all that extra Halloween candy. While the kids might love to have Halloween candy in the bowl until the Easter bunny hops by, the reality is that all those sweet treats can be a little too tempting. Plus, who doesn’t want to make room for those holiday desserts?

What is Halloween Crack?

One of the popular Halloween treats has become Halloween Crack. While the name might bring a smile, the first bite is even more delightful. And, it is a great way to use all that extra Halloween candy.

A quick search of recipe sites or Pinterest shows a myriad of options. One of the reasons why people love this dessert is that it is the combination of salty and sweet. With a little crunch and creativity, anyone can make this dessert.

Basically, the recipe is chocolate covered saltine crackers, or some type of thin, salted crackers, that is covered with chocolate and candies. Yes, it does take a little skill to temper the melted chocolate to ensure that perfect snap. But, if it isn’t glistening perfection, it is ok. People will really just focus on the taste.

The Halloween dessert can be topped with a variety of candy options. While many recipes use candy corn because of the holiday, but other options work too. Even just some simple Halloween sprinkles work for this dessert.

One key idea to remember. Try not to have competing flavors. For example, salty candies can compete with the crackers. It is best to let each ingredient shine independently. That contrast is what makes this dessert so tempting.

In many ways, this recipe idea can be made for any holiday. Simply swap the décor colors depending on the season. From the holidays to Easter to even 4th of July, the options are many.
