English Toffee Bark

January 12, 2016 by myrecipeconfessions

English Toffee Bark. English toffee isn’t just for Christmas, you should enjoy it all year long! This is one of those cheater recipes that taste just as good as the original. It is quick and easy to make and will put a big smile on your face!

We love English toffee around here. My siblings love it so much that they often beg me to make it for them. My husband’s Grandma Swenson had an amazing recipe that I use. But sometimes, I just don’t want to spend the time to make it. So that is where this recipe comes into play.

It’s the cheater recipe for English toffee. This is one of those circumstances when cheating is totally fine! In fact, I am willing to bet that this might be the first time in your life that your family and friends thank you for cheating since you will be able to make it so fast.

I like to use Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers in this recipe. The wafers honestly taste more like milk chocolate than dark chocolate. I use one 12 oz. bag for this recipe.  If you want a cheaper option than the wafers, almond bark will work great too.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s get cooking!

With love from my kitchen to yours,

Carrie
