Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 40 pieces Saltine crackers Crisp and crunchy base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter For a rich flavor
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar Adds caramel flavor
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips Can be increased for more chocolatey goodness
  • 1 cup chopped nuts Optional for added crunch
  • to taste sea salt For a sweet-salty balance

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the Saltine crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring there are no gaps.
Making the Toffee
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Bring to a boil and bubble for about 3-4 minutes while stirring constantly.
  2. Pour the hot toffee over the Saltine crackers, ensuring they are completely covered and spread it evenly.
Baking
  1. Bake in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly and golden.
  2. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them melt for a minute, then spread the chocolate smoothly over the toffee.
  3. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and sea salt while the chocolate is still melted.
Setting
  1. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
  2. Once set, break the bark into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Optional: Try white chocolate or add peppermint extract for a festive twist. The toffee may look uneven, but that's part of its charm!
