Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks)

  • 1 stack of Saltine crackers (enough to cover a baking sheet)
  • 1 lb package of white almond bark, melted
  • 1/2 package of red candy melts, melted

  • Valentine-themed sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together.
  4. Bring the mixture to a full boil, stirring continuously, and boil for 5 minutes until it turns a deep golden color and silky texture.
  5. Quickly pour the hot butter and sugar mixture evenly over the crackers, coating each cracker.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to set the toffee.
  7. While baking, melt the white almond bark, pink candy melts, and red candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls according to package instructions.

  11. Sprinkle Valentine-themed sprinkles on top before the chocolate hardens.
  12. Allow to cool completely until the chocolate is fully set and hard.
  13. Break into smaller pieces and enjoy.

Notes

Can substitute Saltine crackers with Ritz or Club crackers for different flavor and texture., Milk or semi-sweet chocolate can be used instead of white chocolate for the base layer., Add crushed nuts like pecans or almonds on top for extra crunch., Different colored candy melts can be used to match other holidays or themes., A sprinkle of sea salt can be added for a sweet and salty twist., Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature away from heat or sunlight for up to two weeks., The recipe can be made ahead; refrigerate after drizzling to harden chocolate faster., Can be frozen for up to one month, thaw before serving.
