- 2 cups coarsely crushed saltine crackers
- 1 cup coarsely crushed pretzels
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, cubed
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups melting chocolate
- 1 cup white chocolate
Toppings:
- 1/4 cup golden raisins, chopped
- 1/4 cup dried prunes, chopped
- 1/4 cup craisins, chopped
- 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 cup almonds, chopped
- 1/4 cup pepitas
- 1/4 cup coffee beans, chopped
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/2 cup M&M's® Crispy Snacks, coarsely chopped and whole
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lay coarsely chopped crackers and pretzels out on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake until golden, about 10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, cook down sugar just until lightly golden. Add butter and honey. Stir until a the mixture turns to thick, golden consistency. Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and remove the saucepan from the heat and stir vigorously. The mixture will now start to foam.
- **NOTE: if there are clumps of sugar in your mixture, do not be alarmed - it will be like toffee and only add to the bark!
- Pour the candy syrup over the crackers and pretzels. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Melt your chocolate and pour directly onto the cooled crackers. With a rubber spatula, evenly spread the chocolate out until it completely covers the crackers.
- Immediately add your desired toppings.
- Melt white chocolate and drizzle over the bark. Place in the refrigerator for several hours until the chocolate has set and hardened.
- Once the bark has set, break bark into pieces. Serve and enjoy!
