Easter Crack: Why You’ll Love This Recipe
First things first, let’s talk about why Easter Crack is so special. For starters, it’s the perfect balance of sweet and salty—two flavours that were simply made for each other. The combination of crispy Salada biscuits with rich, buttery caramel and smooth chocolate is a match made in heaven. Plus, it’s incredibly versatile. You can decorate it with all sorts of Easter-themed goodies, from mini chocolate eggs to colourful sprinkles. 🎨
But the best part? This recipe is super simple! Even if you’re not a seasoned baker, you can pull off this Easter treat with ease. Whether you’re preparing it for a family get-together or as a gift for friends, Easter Crack is sure to impress. 🌟
Tips & Tricks for the Perfect Easter Crack
Making Easter Crack is easy, but here are a few tips to ensure your treat turns out perfect every time:
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: Since the chocolate layer is such a key part of this recipe, it’s worth investing in good quality chocolate. Opt for brands that melt smoothly and have a rich flavour. If you’re a fan of dark chocolate, you can mix half milk and half dark for a more sophisticated taste.
- Be Precise with the Caramel: When making the caramel, let it boil for just one minute. Any longer, and it might become too hard when it sets. You’re aiming for a texture that’s firm but still chewy.
- Cool it Down: After spreading the chocolate and adding your decorations, let the tray cool at room temperature for a few minutes before placing it in the fridge. This will help prevent the chocolate from cracking as it cools.
- Customise Your Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Easter is the perfect time to go wild with decorations. You can use anything from chopped nuts and coconut flakes to crushed peppermint candies or even edible glitter. This is a great way to get the kids involved too—let them go crazy with the sprinkles! 🐣
Serving & Pairing Suggestions
Easter Crack is an ideal treat to serve as part of your Easter spread. It’s great on its own, but you can also pair it with other Easter favourites like hot cross buns, carrot cake, or a classic pavlova. 🥕🍰
If you’re serving it at a party, consider cutting it into smaller bite-sized pieces and arranging them on a festive platter alongside some fresh fruit or a bowl of mixed nuts. For a truly indulgent experience, pair your Easter Crack with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of milk. 🍫☕️

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don’t have Salada biscuits on hand, you can substitute them with any other plain, salty crackers like Ritz or Jatz. The key is to use a cracker that’s sturdy enough to hold up under the caramel.
Once the Easter Crack has set, break it into pieces and store it in an airtight container. It will keep well at room temperature for a few days or in the fridge for up to a week.
