Sweet Ritz Bark
Author: Lake Murray
Recipe type: Candy
Cuisine: Snack
Ingredients
- Nonstick spray
- 35 to 40 Ritz crackers
- 2 sticks (1 cup) butter or margarine
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1⅓ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips OR
- coarse ground semi-sweet bakers chocolate
- 1 tbs corn syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line 1 large or 2 small jelly-roll pans with aluminum foil, spray with nonstick spray and arrange the Ritz salt-side down in a single layer. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter or margarine and brown sugar together, add the corn syrup and vanilla, and boil until it turns a caramel color. Remove from the heat and pour over the crackers, covering them evenly.
- Put the jelly-roll pan into the oven and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until just bubbly, watching carefully. Remove from the oven and pour the chocolate chips over the crackers. When the chips melt a bit, spread them over the crackers with a knife.
- Transfer the pan to the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until completely cold. They will form one big sheet. Break up into pieces. Store in an airtight container
