Directions:

Let’s make some saltine cracker candy! Here are the basic steps for making this easy dessert for saltine bark.

1. The first step is to preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and set it aside.
3. Place a single layer of saltine crackers on the cookie sheet, covering the entire cookie sheet.
4. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Over medium heat, melt butter and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes.
5. Pour toffee mixture over the saltine crackers, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
6. While the saltines are baking, melt the white candy melts according to the directions on the bag.
7. Once the saltines are out of the oven, cover them with the melted white candy melts. Melt the pink and red candy melts in separate bowls according to the directions on the bag.
8. Spread the pink and red candy melts over the white candy melts using a rubber spatula or knife, creating a marbled effect.
9. Sprinkle Valentine’s Day-themed sprinkles over the candy melts.
10. Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 2 hours to allow the bark to set.
11. Once set, break the bark into pieces and enjoy!

• Add chopped nuts, such as slivered almonds or chopped pecans, to the toffee layer for an extra crunch.
• Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top of the bark for a decadent twist.
