Valentine Candy Bark

Here is the latest version of my popular toffee bark, just in time for Valentine's Day! We call it crack because it's made with crackers and is so addicting!!
Valentine Candy Bark (CRACK)

 Saltines (1+ sleeves depending on the size of your cookie sheet)
2 sticks (1 cup) butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Candy/Topping of choice

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a jelly roll pan (cookie sheet with little lip around the edge) with cooking spray. I use a cookie sheet liner instead. Arrange crackers to cover the bottom of the sheet. Melt butter, add the brown sugar, and then boil for 3 minutes. Pour over the saltines and put in oven for 5 minutes.
Remove and sprinkle choc chips on top. When chocolate chips look glossy (about 2 minutes) spread the melted chips evenly across the top. Sprinkle your favorite toppings on top. I used M&Ms, mini marshmallows, conversation hearts, Andes mint chips, and sprinkles. Put it in the fridge to harden and then brake it apart into uneven pieces.

  30. This recipe sounds great. We made some of these - you heightened the excitement by adding candies to the top. Not all of the batches turned out right, though. We were doing something wrong. But the ones that came out good? ADDICTING!!! Like you said, crack!! Thanks for sharing. Linda
