almond bark

350f

Place unsalted soda crakers on a GREASED cookie sheet.

Boil for 5 min: 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 cup butter or margarine

Pour over crackers and bake 7 minutes until bubbly.
Remove from oven and while hot, sprinkle at least 6oz of chocolate chips on top. Spread evenly as it melts. Sprinkle with slivered almonds(the really thin ones) . Press down. Put into freezer to cool. Break into peices after cooled and store in sealed container. It is best if kept in the freezer until serving.

For the candy cane bark i added a bit of peppermint extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and then once out of oven put white chocolate chips on and crushed candy canes.. The white chocolate chips didnt melt very well that way so next time im going to melt them in microwave first and then spread on that way after the pan is out of oven.
