This is one of my favorite holiday desserts and I have made
it every Christmas for the last few years. I first got this recipe from a
coworker who made it for our holiday work luncheons. I had no idea that
it was made out of crackers when I first tasted this Christmas Bark. I ended up using saltines and leftover matzos. You can feel free to top with nuts such as pecans, almonds,
or walnuts. I like topping with crushed candy canes to give the peppermint taste for the holidays. FYI - I placed candy canes in a plastic bagged and crushed them with a hammer, easy! You should definitely make this if you like toffee because that is what this Christmas Bark tastes like. I can't stop eating this Christmas Bark but I better so that I can share with my family and friends. Enjoy!

Christmas Bark
Ingredients
1 to 2 sleeves of saltine crackers (and/or matzos crackers)
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups chocolate chips
crushed candy canes (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheets (jelly roll pans with sides is best) with
foil or parchment paper. If using
foil, spray lightly with non-stick spray.
Arrange crackers in one layer to completely cover baking
sheet/pan.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add butter and brown
sugar. Bring to a boil for 3
minutes.
Bake for 5 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Let sit 5 minutes to allow chocolate to
melt. Spread melted chocolate with
a spatula.
Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top of chocolate.
Allow to cool to completely before breaking into pieces. You may also refrigerate it to cool
overnight.
Store in airtight container.
