Santa Train at the Strasburg Railroad

I had the pleasure of of Riding the Santa Train on the Strasburg Railroad.  I was a really fun experience for the kids, and just the look on their faces makes going in the rain totally worth it lol.

You can read my full review over on Momma Lews Blog - Strasburg Santa Train

We might even make this trip an annual tradition, especially since there are several train themes available.

Maybe we will see you there.

Christmas Crack - AKA saltine toffee

Gotta love me some Christmas Crack

Christmas Crack is so delish!  And, seriously so easy to make.  It's probably called crack because it is so additive.

Ingredients:

Saltine Crackers

1 Cup of Butter (2 Sticks)

1 Cup Brown Sugar

Chocolate Chips, I like to use the mini ones

It is so easy to make

Your oven should be pre-heated to 400 degrees.

Step One:

Line the bottom of a cookie sheet or baking pan with the saltine crackers in one layer.  I like to put foil or wax paper on the bottom, makes it easier to get out.  Make sure to fill the entire bottom, even if that means you have to break some of the crackers.

Step Two:

Melt together the butter and brown sugar.  Let it come to a boil, lower temp and simmer for about 2 minutes

Step Three:

Pour the butter/sugar mixture over the crackers.

Make sure you coat all the crackers, you can use a spoon to spread evenly

Step Four:

Bake in the oven for 5-6 minutes at 400 degrees

Step Five:

Once out of the oven, spread chocolate chips over the entire dish

Step Six:

After a few minutes, spread the chocolate around, coating the entire pan

DONE

  

I like to throw it in the freezer to cool and set.  But, the chocolate will harden if just on the counter. Once totally cool, just break into pieces and enjoy.  Beware:  you can't just have one piece.
