Ingredients

For the Toffee Base:

• 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
• 1 cup (200g) brown sugar or granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 sleeve (about 35-40) saltine crackers or graham crackers

For the Toppings:

• 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
• ½ cup (60g) chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes (optional)

How to Make Crunchy Toffee Chocolate Bark

Step 1: Line the Baking Tray
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring it covers the edges for easy cleanup. Lay the crackers flat in a single layer to form the base.

Step 2: Cook the Toffee
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens and takes on a golden caramel color. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3: Spread the Toffee
Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture over the crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula to coat every cracker.

Step 4: Bake the Toffee Layer
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling and fully set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 5: Add the Chocolate
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the warm toffee. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes to melt, then spread the chocolate evenly across the toffee layer with a spatula.

Step 6: Garnish and Set
While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle chopped nuts and sea salt flakes over the top for extra flavor and crunch. Allow the bark to cool completely at room temperature, or refrigerate it for faster setting.

Step 7: Break and Enjoy
Once the bark is hardened, remove it from the tray and break it into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Tips for Success

1. Choose Your Base Wisely: Saltine crackers add a delightful salty kick, but graham crackers offer a sweeter alternative.
2. Don’t Overcook the Toffee: Keep an eye on the toffee to prevent burning—golden brown is perfect!
3. Experiment with Toppings: Try crushed pretzels, shredded coconut, or even candy pieces for unique variations.
