I've come accross several different names for this, most simply it can be called Cracker Candy, but I usually make it around the holidays, so I call it Holiday Bark My Dad's favorite candy is Almond Rocha, so when I first made this, he was ecstatic at how easy and delicious it is! You can experiment with toppings on this one,...

Categories     Candies

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 4

35 saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)
1/2 c butter or margarine
1/2 c firmly packed brown sugar
1 pkg 12 oz. chocolate chips (i prefer milk choco)

Steps:

  • 1. PREHEAT oven to 400°F.
  • 2. Place crackers in foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. I usually fold the foil so it forms almost a box-like shape to keep everything packed in tighter.
  • 3. PLACE butter and sugar in saucepan; cook on medium high heat until butter is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring occasionally.
  • 4. Bring mixture to rolling boil; boil 3 min. without stirring.
  • 5. Remove from heat and quickly pour mixture over crackers. Use a spatula to spread it as much as you can over the crackers. Crackers will move around, just push them back into place with fingers or spatula/spoon.
  • 6. BAKE 5 to 7 min. or until topping is golden brown. Usually is perfect at 6 minutes, but obviously ovens will vary.
  • 7. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips, let stand 5 min. or until chocolate is softened. Spread chocolate evenly over ingredients in pan; if adding a topping, now is the time to do so.
  • 8. Cool until the chocolate is set and break into pieces; It should come easily off of the foil used.
  • 9. Try Crumbled Candy Canes, Used Chopped Toasted Almonds, Coconut, even used Cappuccino Chips and White Chocolate Chips instead of Chocolate Chips! Enjoy!

This recipe was easy to follow and the bark turned out great! I was a little worried that it would be too hard to break into pieces, but it was actually really easy. I will definitely be making this again.

This bark was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I used semisweet chocolate. Next time I'll try using dark chocolate, which I think will balance out the sweetness better.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but this bark was surprisingly good! The peppermint flavor really balanced out the chocolate and made it really enjoyable. I would definitely make this again.

This bark was delicious! I used dark chocolate and crushed candy canes, and it was the perfect combination of sweet and minty. It was also really easy to make, which is always a plus.
