Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 sleeves club-style crackers (from a 13.7-oz. box, about 52 crackers), plus more as needed
  • 3/4 cup salted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 3 cups white chocolate chips (about 18 oz.)
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies
  • 3 tbsp Christmas sprinkles

Equipment

  • Half sheet pan
  • Foil
  • Medium saucepan
  • Offset spatula or spoon

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F, then line a half sheet pan with foil and arrange the crackers in a single layer.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt; bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then cook for 2-3 minutes until it slightly thickens and foams before pouring it over the crackers.
  3. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the sugar mixture is bubbly and deep golden brown. Immediately sprinkle white chocolate chips over the hot bark, let them melt for 3 minutes, then spread evenly and top with peppermint candies and sprinkles.
  4. Allow the bark to cool completely for about 2 hours at room temperature, or accelerate cooling by refrigerating for 30 minutes, before cutting or breaking it into pieces.

Notes

Ensure crackers are laid out as close as possible for a solid bark base. For quicker setting, refrigerate the bark for at least 30 minutes before breaking. The toffee mixture will be very hot, handle with care.
