Christmas Cracker Bark
Dinner at the Zoo by Sarah Welch
Notes
I recommend using square crackers, as the circular crackers made cutting the bark more difficult and messy.
Ingredients
- 40 saltine or Ritz crackers
2 sticks of butter (1 cup)
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup holiday sprinkles or other toppings of your choosing
Cooking spray or butter
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray or butter; you can also use a nonstick silicone baking mat. Place crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and brown sugar over medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil for three minutes.
- Pour the brown sugar mixture over the crackers and spread evenly with a spatula until all are coated.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, or until bubbling.
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips all over. Place the pan back in the oven for another 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate. Remove from the oven and carefully spread the chocolate evenly over the top.
- Decorate with sprinkles or other toppings like marshmallows, peppermint, or sliced almonds. Let the toffee sit until completely cooled, either at room temperature or refrigerate for up to three days prior to serving.
- Cut into pieces and enjoy!
