Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with aluminum foil, ensuring it extends over the edges for easy removal. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

5 mins

Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer in the prepared jelly roll pan, ensuring they cover the entire surface. You may need to break some crackers to fill in gaps. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

3 mins

In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar and unsalted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a light golden brown color. (Cook time: 8 minutes)

04

Step

1 mins

Immediately pour the hot butter mixture evenly over the crackers, spreading it to cover the entire surface. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

2 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the butter mixture is bubbly and the edges are lightly browned. (Bake time: 6 minutes)

06

Step

6 mins

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot crackers. Let stand for 1 minute to allow the chocolate chips to melt. (Rest time: 1 minute)

07

Step

2 mins

Spread the melted chocolate chips evenly over the crackers using a rubber spatula. Sprinkle chopped walnuts evenly over the chocolate. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

08

Step

3 mins

Refrigerate the chocolate bark for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and firm. (Chill time: 30 minutes)

09

Step

30 mins

Once the chocolate is set, break the bark into pieces and serve. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate before refrigerating for an extra layer of salty sweetness.
Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
