Toffee Bark

This recipe turns those buttery rectangular crackers into a delectable sweet and salty treat, YUM!

Ingredients:

• 2 paper envelopes buttery rectangular crackers or saltines, whichever you prefer
• 1 cup butter
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1-1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. 
   
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 15" x 10" pan with foil. Spray foil with nonstick baking spray that has flour. Place the crackers in a single layer on the jelly roll pan, breaking to fit.
2. In large saucepan, place butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. You'll need to stir constantly as the mixture cooks. Keep cooking and boiling it until it combines and forms a smooth sauce. This takes a few minutes, so don't get discouraged!
3. When the sauce has combined, spoon and spread evenly over the crackers in the pan. Bake for 10-13 minutes until the sauce is bubbling all over the surface. Remove and immediately sprinkle both kinds of chocolate chips over the bubbling surface. Let stand for 5 minutes, then marble the chips with the tip of a knife. Let cool completely,then cut into pieces to serve.
