- 24 saltine crackers
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate chips
- 8 slices cooked bacon
- Sea salt
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line large rimmed baking sheet (9x13) with nonstick foil. Arrange crackers on top.
In saucepan, melt butter and sugar on low. Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and pour sugar mixture evenly over crackers, spreading if necessary. Bake until deep golden brown, 12-15 minutes.
Immediately scatter chocolate chips in even layer on top and let sit for 3 minutes, then spread chocolate over caramel.
While chocolate is still warm, scatter bacon and salt over top and let set. Break into pieces to serve.
Recipe originally published in Good Housekeeping Magazine, March 2018.
If chocolate doesn't melt on the warm sugar mixture, place it in the oven for 2 minutes until the chocolate is spreadable.
Refrigerate remaining bark.
