Ingredients For Saltine Cracker Toffee Bark Recipe

• 30 saltine crackers (about 4 ounces)
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

How To Make This Toffee Bark Recipe

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange saltine crackers in a single layer, edges touching.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar and bring to a gentle boil—let it bubble for 2–3 minutes while stirring constantly.
3. Carefully pour the hot toffee sauce over the crackers, spreading evenly with a spatula so each square is coated.
4. Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling and lightly golden at the edges.
5. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee and crackers.
6. Let the chips sit for 1–2 minutes to soften, then spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer with an offset spatula.
7. Optional: Sprinkle chopped nuts or festive sprinkles on top, gently pressing them into the chocolate.
8. Allow the bark to cool completely at room temperature or pop it in the fridge for 15–20 minutes until set.
9. Break the bark into pieces and serve—or package in cellophane bags for gifting!

Tips & Variations For Your Toffee Bark

• Nut-Free Option: Omit nuts and add rainbow sprinkles for a kid-friendly version.
• Dunk It Up: Use white chocolate chips instead of semisweet for a sweeter bark.
• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of sea salt or ground cinnamon over the warm chocolate for a gourmet touch.
• Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
