Make this simple, addictive sweet and salty treat using only four basic ingredients. This no-fail recipe is perfect for beginners and ideal for holiday gifting or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sleeve (about 4 cups) saltine crackers
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: Coarse sea salt or chopped nuts for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer covering the entire sheet.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for exactly one minute without stirring.
  3. Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the saltine crackers, spreading it quickly to cover all the crackers.
  4. Bake the crackers with the toffee layer for 5 minutes. The toffee should look bubbly.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer. Let the chocolate sit for 5 minutes to soften.
  6. Spread the softened chocolate evenly over the toffee layer using an offset spatula. If using, sprinkle with coarse sea salt or nuts now.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
  8. Once set, break the toffee bark into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, substitute milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips for semi-sweet.
  • You can add crushed candy canes on top of the chocolate layer during the last 10 minutes of chilling for a peppermint variation.
  • This candy keeps well for up to one week when stored properly.
