Heath Bark Food

HEATH BAR BRICKLE OR "CHRISTMAS CRACK"

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F
• Line a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil and cover it with a single layer of saltine crackers.
• In a saucepan, melt butter and sugar together. Bring to boil then let cook for 3-5 minutes.
• Pour hot caramel over the saltines and place the pan in the oven for 5-8 minutes until caramel is hot and bubbly.
• Remove pan from oven and immediately cover the top with chocolate chips. Let set for 3-5 minutes so the chocolate begins to melt.
• Use a nonstick spatula to spread the chocolate into a single layer and then top with crushed Heath bars.
• Place pan in freezer for several hours until set.
• Turn pan over and carefully remove the foil. Break the bark into pieces.
• Can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator if chocolate gets too soft.

HEATH BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to lowest setting, grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray, and keep warm in the oven.
• In a large stockpot, bring butter, sugar, and salt to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently (almost constantly), until temperature reaches 300 degrees F using a candy thermometer.
• Remove from heat and immediately stir in vanilla.
• Quickly and carefully pour the mixture onto warm greased pan.
• Spread the brittle by picking up the pan and tilting it around until it covers the entire pan.
• Let the brittle set until firm, but still warm, this should only take a few minutes.
• Spread the melted chocolate into a thin even layer over the brittle.
• Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and carefully press down to ensure the almonds stick to the chocolate.
• Place the toffee in the freezer until set.
• Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

HEATH BARK

Steps:

• Chop up the chocolate and put in microwave safe bowl. Melt 60 seconds, then every 15 seconds, stirring until melted.
• Put wax paper on cookie sheet with edges (I used my 15x21 to make thin). Pour melted chocolate onto cookie sheet and spread thin with the spoon you stirred with. Then sprinkle heath over top. Leave to harden. Tgen break into pieces.
• Put into container, and I store somewhere cold, so it doesn't melt.
• Ok, so I re melted so the heath would get inside the chocolate. It was then 1/2 bag heath chips to the bar of chocolate bark, and 2 big scoops of peanut butter. Oh, oh, yum. I licked the spoon!

HEATH BAR CAKE

Steps:

• Bake cake mix according to package directions, using a 9 x 13 x 2-inch pan.
• While still hot, punch holes in top of cake with a skewer or large fork.
• Pour sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping over hot cake.
• Let cake cool.
• Spread with whipped topping and sprinkle chopped Heath bars over all.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.

HEATH BAR CANDY

Steps:

• 1. Combine first three ingredients and boil, stirring constantly, until it thickens and is the color of a brown paper bag. This will take about 10-12 minutes of constant stirring. The consistency will go through about four stages in looks. Be careful not to overcook or it will taste scorched.
• 2. Pour over a lightly greased 12 x 18 cookie sheet, spreading it as fast as you can into the pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot candy and let melt. Spread the chocolate over the candy.
• 3. It's tricky to get it just the right color. Too light and it doesn't have the toffee consistency and flavor, too dark and it tastes burned. BE CAREFUL HANDLING CANDY WHEN HOT BECAUSE IT IS VERY, VERY HOT!
