Christmas Bark

Hi all, this is Jill, Ashlee's sister. Here is a delish holiday treat. It's quick too. I can never stop eating it.

I first tried this bark while living in Santa Monica, my roommate grew up eating it. And now I'm growing old eating it. Enjoy!

Chocolate Bark

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1 box graham crackers

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Line cookie sheet with buttered aluminum foil. (You don't have to do that but it really makes it easy to get the bark out at the end. Otherwise sometimes it sticks to the pan and is hard to break up).
3. Line cookie sheet with crackers in single layer. (you'll have to break some of them up, it doesn't have to be perfect because the sugar/butter will bind it all together)
4. In a saucepan combine the sugar and the butter. Bring to a boil and boil for 3 minutes. Immediately pour over graham crackers and spread to cover crackers completely.
5. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 5 to 6 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top.
7. Let sit for 5 minutes. (I actually put it back in the oven for a few minutes to make sure the choc chips melt enough to be able to spread them easily).
8. Spread melted chocolate and top with chopped nuts.
9. Cool completely and break into pieces. (I put and keep it in the fridge and it's really easy to break up into pieces.)
10. Some people use saltine crackers. I've never tried it but I bet it's good with a little bit more of a salty kick.
