Do you remember B Dylan Hollis , the TikTok recipe guy? I've talked about him before, with Chocolate Potato Cake, or Potato Chip Cookies.

Well, he's back again, with something called "Christmas Crack," from 1974.

Never has a sweet been so accurately named. These things are addictive. And really simple.

Christmas Crack

One sleeve of saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 bag milk chocolate chips
(optional) chopped nuts (I used almonds)

Spread saltines in tight array on a foil-lined cookie sheet. I had to open a second sleeve to get three more to complete the grid.

Heat butter and sugar to boil in a saucepan. Boil five minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over crackers and spread evenly with silicone spatula. Bake 7 minutes at 350° F.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Give them a minute to melt, then spread evenly with the spatula. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired.

Chill in refrigerator overnight, then peel off foil and cut or break into chunks.

They're basically a salted toffee biscuit. So easy. So good.

Cookies!

Does anyone else follow B Dylan Hollis on Tiktok? He's a delight.

He collects old recipe books, and cooks some of the more... questionable offerings. Meat loaf jello. Pickle cheesecake. So many of them are horrible, and his reactions are priceless.

Some, however, are surprisingly good. I'm totally planning on requesting a Chocolate Potato Cake for my birthday. And then there's these.

Potato Chip Cookies. Surprisingly good cold, amazing just out of the oven. I'm taking this box up to Fall Festival with me this weekend. Here's the recipe:

Potato Chip Cookies

1 cup butter
1.25 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
8 oz bag potato chips
1 cup chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugar. Mix in vanilla and eggs. Sift together flour and baking powder and stir into wet ingredients. Crush potato chips and reserve half. Stir 4 oz potato chips and chocolate chips into batter.

Chill in fridge until firm. Form into balls with 2 oz. disher and roll in reserved chips. Bake 350° F for 15 minutes. Makes about three dozen.
