This is one of those Christmas cookie recipes where I reserve the right to stray from my healthy and light cooking theme. Pat’s Christmas Bark is just too easy and delicious not to share with you.
Pat’s Christmas Bark
I can’t say where Pat found the original recipe, but I’m sure glad she did! The bark turns out like an Almond Roca, and it’s absolutely addicting! Four simple ingredients, and one of them is a cheap box of saltines!
I don’t know how many the recipe serves, and Pat didn’t say. You break it up into pieces, so it’s difficult to estimate. It won’t matter how much you make anyway. It will be gone in a flash!
Enjoy!
Pat’s Simple and Simply Delicious Christmas Bark
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 sleeve saltines
12 oz chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and then with saltines.
- Bring butter and brown sugar to a rolling boil, stirring frequently.
- Pour over saltines
- Bake 7 minutes.
- Sprinkle with chocolate chips so the melt, and then spread over pan.
I have seen so many bark recipes this season! I have never made bark, but hope to next season, and I think this may be my fave! Thank you!
It was truly very simple, and had my coworkers begging for the recipe. 🙂
Wow, very simple ingredients most of us have in our kitchens. It’s amazing what you can make with few ingredients. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I was amazed. It’s probably a bit late for this holiday season, but it’s work saving for next year.
I’ve had this and have to say it’s totally addicting, and so easy to make. I love this stuff!
Easy and inexpensive. Can’t beat that? Where did you get the recipe from? Just curious where Pat found it. She fills in at work, so I don’t see her often enough to ask her.
Wonderful recipe. Happy Holidays.
Thank you. Happy holidays to you too!
Saltines, huh? Interesting. Thank you for sharing this idea.
Crazy, huh? You would never know they’re there. The caramel floats the crackers to the top in the oven, then you spread the chocolate over the crackers. It really was a fun recipe. 🙂
A friend of mine made me some of this and I thought I had died and gone to heaven! Thanks for posting the recipe.
I’ll have to let Pat know her Bark is a hit! Happy New Year!
Thanks for the recipe! Wouldn’t have thought to use saltines. Made this for treats this year with graham crackers and at the end sprinkled chopped pecans on top of the melted chocolate. Everything else was the same as your. YUMMY!!!
That sounds even better. I’ll give that a try next year. I bet it’s even better with graham crackers!
Now… this is the simple addictive kind of goodies I like the most! The best stuffs to serve to your guests during the festive season. Love it! Thanks for sharing. MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope you’ve a fantastic time with you family & friends. Cheers.
I agree. Enjoy the rest of the holiday season! 🙂
Agreed — this is such a great and tasty treat to give as a gift for the holidays!
Hi Mother Rimmy,
this is a wonderful snack that I won’t be able to stop eating. A real treat for the festive season! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Have a blessed and Happy New year!
I finally froze some of it just to see how it would freeze. It’s good frozen too. 🙂 Happy New Year to you and those you love!
The Christmas chocolates are almost gone. I’ll be trying this out for sure. Perfect recipe for a quick fix.. on hand ingredients and quick! Hope you had a wonderful holiday!
You too! Happy New Year!
I made this too. But I used buttery club crackers. I think I like it better with the saltines though.
Little Apple Cook made it with graham crackers. Sounds like there are many versions of this recipe out there. Either way, it sure is easy and people love it.
