This festive Christmas Bark is easy and delicious! Layers of graham crackers, brown sugar toffee, peanut butter, and chocolate make this an addictive holiday treat.
Can you believe we’re into the last month of the year? What has your December looked like?
Are you existing on a diet of Egg Nog Lattes and Christmas cookies? If not, it’s time to start. Bake some cookies, drop extra marshmallows into your hot chocolate, and let’s do this season right.
This is the time of year that I make batch after batch of my favorite Pecan Praline Bark. But today I’m switching things up with this super easy Christmas Bark. Making edible gifts for friends and family is one of my favorite parts of the season. If you’re looking for some other Christmas treats, try my: Peppermint Cookies, Sugar Cookies or Cookie Mix in a Jar.
Christmas Crack Recipe
You might know also know this as Christmas crack, or graham cracker toffee. It’s a layer of graham crackers topped with brown sugar toffee, melted chocolate, and any festive holiday toppings you choose (I used M&M’s and sprinkles). And because I absolutely love the combo of chocolate and peanut butter, I also added some peanut butter into this Christmas Bark.
Bonus: There is no actual “toffee” in this recipe. We are making a toffee-like mixture of butter and brown sugar and pouring it over graham crackers which serve as our crunchy base. This is way easier than making real toffee, no candy thermometer needed. Woohoo!
This recipe makes a big batch of toffee that you can share with anyone and everyone. Package it up for gifts, stash some in your freezer for late night snacking, or set it out and watch it disappear.
Everyone goes crazy for this stuff, you will be glad you made a big batch! Also to be noted: If you’re anything like me, you will be stealing bites as you’re breaking it up. Worry not, no one will even know any is missing.
Christmas Bark
- Graham crackers – Layer them in the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet.
- Toffee – A quick mixture of butter and brown sugar gets poured over the graham crackers.
- Peanut butter – Optional, but SO delicious. Pour it over the toffee.
- Chocolate – Sprinkle over chocolate chips and allow them to melt, then spread with a spatula.
- Holiday candies and sprinkles – I add holiday M&M’s and red and green sprinkles.
How can you go wrong with ↑ that ↑ combination of ingredients? You can’t. This stuff is nicknamed “crack” for a reason – it is addicting! One piece leads to another, and another, and another. Repeat after me: This is what New Year’s resolutions are for. 😉
