Cranberry Butter Crunch Bark Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. Cook: 1 hour + chilling
  • Yield: 32 Servings
20 60 80

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons plus 1 cup butter, divided
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 8 cups chopped white candy coating (about 3 pounds), divided
  • 3 cups dried cranberries, divided

Directions

  • Grease a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan with 1/2 teaspoon butter. In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, bring 1 cup butter, sugar and water to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 290° (soft-crack stage). Pour into prepared pan (do not scrape sides of saucepan). Refrigerate for 1 hour or until hard.
  • Break toffee into pieces. Place in a food processor; cover and process until coarsely chopped. Divide in half; set aside.
  • Butter two 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pans with remaining butter. In a microwave, melt 4 cups white candy coating. Stir in 1-1/2 cups dried cranberries and half of reserved toffee pieces.
  • Pour onto one prepared pan; spread to edges of pan. Repeat with remaining white candy coating, dried cranberries and toffee pieces. Yield: 4 pounds.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.
