There's two reasons this candy is called "Christmas Crack." 1) It is traditionally made with Saltine crackers (personally, I like to use buttery Ritz) 2) It is INSANELY addictive
CANDY. Yes it's totally bad for you, addictive even, spikes your blood sugar, gives you diabetes, and has little other nutritional value. It makes for excellent stained glass when melted inside gingerbread cookies.
