Author Joy in Every Season

Ingredients

  • Approx. 4 dozen Saltine Cracker squares + or - to fill your baking sheet
  • 3/4 cup real butter 1 1/2 sticks
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 12 oz. mini chocolate chips I used semi sweet, but use your favorite
  • 6 oz. white candy melts
  • 6 oz. pink candy melts
  • Sprinkles or other small candies such as mini m&ms

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350*
  • Lined rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment (spray lightly with baking spray) or preferably using a silicone baking sheet.
  • Arrange crackers on baking sheet to completely fill the bottom (break crackers if needed to fill in gaps).
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and brown sugar. Stir continually until sugar melts and mixture begins to boil.
  • Continue to boil (still stirring) for 2-3 minutes.
  • Carefully pour hot caramel mixture evenly over saltine cracker layer. Spread with spatula if needed.
  • Place sheet pan into hot oven and bake for 5 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and spread the chocolate chips evenly over hot caramel. Return to oven and bake for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate over the caramel.
  • Set aside.
  • Following the directions on the Candy Melts bag, melt in microwave. I placed mine in a glass measuring cup and microwaved for 1 minute at 50%. Stir till smooth.
  • Pour warm colored chocolate into quart size zip lock bag and cut a small hole in one corner.
  • Gently squeeze chocolate in a "squiggly" pattern over bark.
  • Top with fun sprinkles!
  • Place pan in refrigerator or freezer to cool. Once toffee bark is firmly set, remove from pan and cut or break into pieces.
  • Enjoy!!
