Andes Chocolate Toffee Bark

Andes Chocolate Toffee Bark recipe - Family Fresh Meals

The holidays are just around the corner, and that means it’s time for peppermint bark. This classic holiday treat is just a layer of melted chocolate with crushed peppermint on top – but when you put those two ingredients together, magic happens.

So, with the sound of sleigh bells in the distance, I started thinking about new ways to spin this favorite flavor combo. But I was torn, because all autumn I’ve really been enjoying making desserts with caramel in them, like my Caramel Apple Sheet Cake and Pumpkin Caramel Pull Apart Bread. Much as I love me a good chocolate-peppermint treat, I just didn’t feel ready to let that buttery-sweet flavor go.

And then it hit me: why not do both?

This Andes Chocolate Toffee Bark has all the choco-mint magic of peppermint bark, with a layer of rich, buttery toffee in the middle. Plus, it amps up the chocolate by building on a layer of chocolate-covered graham crackers, and boosts the mint flavor by melting together Andes candies with chocolate chips to make the bark. So it’s not just chocolate and peppermint: it’s double chocolate, double mint, toffee madness.

Hey, if you can’t go crazy at Christmas time, when can you?

2. Line a 10×15-inch pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper. Lay a single layer of graham crackers out on onto the prepared baking sheet, feel free to cut crackers in half to fit into tight corners. Immediately spread the hot mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
