Get ready for a new family favorite—like brittle, but better. Pack pieces of sweet-and-salty treasures in decorated cardboard gift tubes or recycled oatmeal containers wrapped with decorative paper (or use scraps of self-adhesive wallpaper). Trim with green pompom fringe. Make it fun by adding a bow made from newspaper. —Laura Cox, Brewster, Massachusetts

Fantastic recipe! I made it twice, the first time I used Ghirardelli semi sweet chocolate morsels and it came out perfect. The second time I used toll house semi sweet morsels and the chocolate totally seized and it didn't work at all.

I made 6 batches of this for a group of employees. I perfected it a bit as a went. It needs a little salt added to the butter/sugar mixture, and I generally don't salt many things. Also, It didn't need a full 8oz bag of toffee bits. If you are making mutiple patches, 2 pkgs will do 3 pans of bark. For the cooking portion, I felt it produced a better product when I boiled the butter sugar mixture for 3-4 minutes and then baked it for 10-12 minutes until it was golden and bubbly. It was a crispier product that broke into pieces much better than when I only baked it only 8-10. It was stickier and didn't break as nice. But the taste is excellent either way!

This was the grossest thing I ever made. A waste of good ingredients, time and money.

This is a perfect recipe for presents, get togethers or sharing with the kids. I had saltine crackers lying around and saw this recipe and it is soooo good!

Substituted Pretzel Crisps for the saltines. What a hit - Everyone has asked for the recipe!

I made this along with my favorite truffles for Christmas gifts, and this was the thing I got the most compliments on. Everyone loved it. So did I, but as someone who occasionally takes a little too much pride in never making anything grainy, I thought this was a bit. I tried making it again, wondering if I should cook it longer and really make sure the sugar was dissolved, but the stuff becomes very thick and hard to cook for too long. Anyway, it didn't help with the graininess. Yet, it was only very slight and nobody else noticed it but me. In spite of that, I thought it was delicious and addicting, along with everyone else. I only used a half bag of Heath bits and that was plenty.

Very good and easy. My mom and I both made it with Club crackers instead of saltines (we had Club crackers). It is very addicting.

Smashed up candy canes or peanut brittle are much less expensive than english toffee bits and just as tasty!

I usually make toffee every Christmas and when I went to pull up the recipe, this popped up. I had everything in the pantry to make it, so I thought I would try it. Well, it is wonderful!! I will definitely be making this instead this year. Toffee is easy, but this is easier and just as tasty. I also made a batch tonight but used white chocolate chips and Christmas sprinkles. It is just as rich and yummy. I like the toffee bits better, but this is so festive with the white chocolate and sprinkles.

Super-easy and salty-sweet! My family loves it. I look forward to giving it as gifts (it's too addictive to keep in the house!). Instead of buying a bag of Heath bits I ground up some homemade toffee we had lying around and that worked fine.

I made this yesterday- it's gone. No one can believe it uses saltines. We are making another batch today- simple, fast, a keeper

I have made this for years. I use chopped pecans on top, but might try the toffee pieces next time. Everyone loves this treat. My friends say it so addicting that they now call it crack.

A friend just gave me a small container of this as a gift; it was gone in a day. She put toasted coconut on top of hers instead of the toffee pieces.
