Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | stick of butter |
| 1/2 | cup brown sugar |
| 1/4 | teaspoon baking soda |
| 12 | saltine crackers |
| – | chocolate |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Baking Sheet:
- Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
-
Arrange the Saltines:
- Place the saltine crackers evenly on the foil-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are close together but not overlapping.
-
Prepare the Toffee Mixture:
- In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and butter over medium heat.
- Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, stirring continuously, and let it boil for about 1 minute. This will create a rich toffee sauce.
-
Add Baking Soda:
- Remove the toffee mixture from the heat and quickly stir in 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda until well combined. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble up when the baking soda is added.
-
Coat the Crackers:
- Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the saltine crackers, ensuring each cracker is coated with the delicious toffee sauce.
-
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the crackers for about 8 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling and golden brown.
-
Melt the Chocolate:
- While the crackers are baking, melt the chocolate either in the microwave or on the stovetop until smooth and creamy.
-
Coat with Chocolate:
- Once the crackers are baked, remove them from the oven and immediately pour the melted chocolate over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- If needed, return the baking sheet to the oven for a minute to help the chocolate spread and adhere to the toffee-coated crackers.
-
Cool and Break:
- Allow the Heath Bars to cool completely at room temperature until the chocolate has set.
- Once cooled, break the bars apart into individual pieces using your hands or a knife.
-
Storage:
- Store the Heath Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and crunchiness.
