How to Make Christmas Tree Cake Crack
This easy recipe does have several steps and takes a little time, but don’t let that scare you off. It’s the perfect snack or treat for your holiday gatherings this Christmas season.
Toffee Cracker Crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 15x10x1-inch sheet pan with foil. Spray foil with cooking spray.
- Place crackers in a single layer in a pan.
- In a medium saucepan, stir butter and brown sugar over medium heat until butter is melted.
- Heat to boiling, stirring frequently. Let boil for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until light brown.
- Remove from heat and immediately pour the mixture evenly over the crackers in the pan; spread to cover the crackers.
- Bake for 5-8 minutes or until bubbly and brown. Remove from oven.
- Set aside to cool completely.
Filling/Topping
- Combine the powdered sugar, vanilla, and softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer. (you could also do this in the bowl of a stand mixer)
- Next, mix in the marshmallow fluff until everything is smooth and creamy.
- Spread the filling over the crackers in an even layer.
- Melt your almond bark over a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until melted.
- Pour the almond bark over the cracker mixture and spread out evenly.
- Sprinkle with the green sprinkles.
- Melt your red candy melts.
- Place the melted red candy in a ziploc bag with a tip cut off or piping bag.
- Drizzle the red chocolate over the top of the cracker candy for the red stripes on the popular snack cake.
- Set aside to cool completely for 1 hour or in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Break into pieces and serve at your next holiday party (or on your couch while you watch Christmas movies).
Pro Tips
- Saltines work best for this recipe but you can use also use Ritz crackers. Any salted cracker should work just fine.
- You could use red frosting instead of the red candy melts, but then you cannot stack the broken crack candy pieces – they would need to remain in in a single layer.
Storage Directions
Store any leftover crack candy in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap for up to 3 days. This candy can be kept at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions
This sweet treat is perfect for holiday parties, classroom snacks, Christmas dessert platters, or a holiday movie night! This will be the most fun treat of the holiday season!

That sounds so delicious! We love traditional candy crack and have made a few varieties but this isn’t one I’ve heard of before.
I hope you enjoyed it and had a Merry Christmas!
Yum! The cream cheese/marshmallow layer was so good on this amped up Christmas crack!
So happy to hear it! Happy Holidays!
I wanted so badly to like this recipe. It was so difficult to break the pieces apart because of the soft filling. It was also so tooth achingly sweet! I have a decent sweet tooth but this wasn’t even really enjoyable.
If you can handle mega-sweet then this may be the treat for you. For me, it was a very expensive experiment.
The toffee/cracker part was pretty good, though.
Thank you so much for your feedback – I’m so sad to hear this and that the recipe wasn’t to your liking. I understand that taste preferences are real thing and I apologize if it didn’t meet your expectations. Have a Happy New Year!
Crack Candy is so addictive and this Christmas Tree Cake version was really fun for Christmas! It’s super sweet, but we loved it!
So glad you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas!
