Out of all the culinary delights on the Christmas table, I always look forward to the sweet treats the most.
From delicious cheesecakes to festive candies, it can sometimes be hard to choose. Yet, there’s one special treat I love to make when I crave something homemade but don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen — Christmas Crack.
This homemade candy is my favorite because all I need to do is pour a few ingredients into the crockpot and let this amazing kitchen tool work its magic.
As always, the results never disappoint!
