Make this addictive sweet and salty dessert using just five simple ingredients. This buttery toffee over crisp saltine crackers, topped with chocolate, is the perfect quick holiday candy for gifting or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sleeve (about 40) saltine crackers
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer covering the entire sheet.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a full boil. Let it boil for exactly one minute without stirring further.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the saltine crackers on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 5 minutes. The toffee should look bubbly.
  5. Remove the sheet from the oven. Immediately 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.
  7. Cool the toffee completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
  8. Break the cooled toffee bark into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a variation, sprinkle coarse sea salt or crushed candy canes over the melted chocolate before it sets.
  • You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate based on your preference.
  • If you want to add nuts, sprinkle about 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts over the chocolate before cooling.
