Chocolate Saltine Cracker Toffee Bark Ingredients:

You can get the full list of ingredients with measurements in the recipe card below.

• Saltine crackers – Please, with all the love in your heart, trust me on this ingredient.
• Unsalted butter – Because of the salt in saltines, you don’t need to add additional salt via the butter.
• Sugar – Granulated white sugar works best in this recipe.
• Chocolate chips – Either milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips work in this recipe.
• Toppings – Chopped nuts are the most traditional topping for this. You can use chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, sanding sugar, sea salt, pretty much anything that’s in your pantry.

How To Make Chocolate Saltine Cracker Toffee Bark:

Pre-heat the oven to 400 F.

Start by laying the saltine crackers in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.

Since the saltines are square, they line up very easily next to each other on the baking pan.

Quick note: If you have a silicone baking mat, you can put that down to line the baking pan. That will make clean up really easy.

If you don’t, you can lay down some parchment paper or leave the pan uncovered. My mom does the latter and it works fine.

Melt the butter in a saucepan on the stovetop.

Pour in the sugar.

Stir until the sugar and butter are completely combined. This should take about five minutes.

You want to form a sticky, toffee-like caramel mixture. It should feel tacky, but shouldn’t completely stick to a bamboo spoon.

Slowly, pour the toffee mixture on top of all of the saltine crackers.

You want to make sure that each cracker is fully coated in the toffee mixture. That will give the crackers that sweetness you’re looking for.

If the crackers aren’t coated, they’ll taste like saltines with melted chocolate on top. Which is not very good.

Bake the tray for about five minutes until the toffee starts to set.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the crackers.

You’re going to spread these in the next step, but you’ll make your life a lot easier if you evenly distribute them now.

Bake again, this time for about two to three minutes, just until the chocolate chips are warm.

You want to be really careful and watch your chocolate so it doesn’t burn. That’s the only reason I really don’t love using chocolate chips in recipes.

If they burn, there’s no coming back.

Use an icing knife to spread the melted chocolate chips into an even layer across the top of the crackers.

If you don’t have an icing knife, you can use the back of a spoon.

Immediately sprinkle your chocolate bark with your toppings.

Chopped nuts stand out the most against the brown of the melted chocolate. Sea salt tastes delicious because salt enhances the flavor of chocolate. So your cracker bark tastes good, but the salt melts into the chocolate and you don’t see it as well.

If you’re making this for a holiday, you can sprinkle it with holiday themed sprinkles or sanding sugar in that holidays colors.

Let the cracker bark cool completely (or, at the very least, to room temperature).

You want to let it cool on the counter.

If you put it in the fridge immediately, there’s a chance the chocolate will cool at different rates and this will cause your chocolate to discolor.

It’ll taste fine, but if you’re making this for a gift or serving it to friends, it just won’t look as pretty as you want it to.

When the cracker bark has cooled completely, use a sharp knife to cut it to pieces.
