Andes Chocolate Toffee Bark

Take peppermint bark to the next level.

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?

Andes Chocolate Toffee Bark

Ingredients:
1 cup of butter, cubed
1 cup of brown sugar
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon of salt
1 ½ sleeves of chocolate graham crackers
1 ½ cups of chocolate chips
1 package of Andes chocolates (¼ of package roughly chopped)
6 peppermints, crushed
snowflake sprinkles

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sugar, vanilla and salt. Cook over  medium heat, whisking constantly, until butter has melted and mixture is light brown in color, about 10-15 minutes.

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.

3. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and ½ of the package of Andes. Let sit for 1-2 minutes. After 1-2 minutes, spread the chocolate in an even layer until smooth. Sprinkle with remaining chopped Andes and peppermints.

4. Let cool about an hour. Break into pieces and serve.
