I love to cook but I’ll admit that baking is not really my favourite activity in the kitchen. But I do enjoy making stuff with the kids and especially around this time of year, so I am always on the hunt for simple, but delicious holiday recipes that I can use for entertaining or as hostess gifts. Chocolate bark has always been a favourite, so this year, when I kept coming across a recipe from Chipits (no, this is not an ad. I just kept seeing the ads everywhere), I had to try it. I brought it into the office and it was a big hit and I served it at a dinner party with ice cream and fresh raspberries where it was also very well received.

Here is the recipe (courtesy of Hershey Canada Inc):

Toffee Bits Triangles

Makes 60 triangles

You’ll Need

• 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ¼ cups CHIPITS® SKOR Toffee Bits, divided
• 2 cups CHIPITS® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Prep and Cook

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla until creamy.
• Stir in flour and 1 cup (250 mL) of the toffee bits. Press into ungreased 15 ½ x 10 ½ inch (39 x 27 cm) jelly roll pan.
• Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until light brown. Immediately sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips over top. Let stand until softened, about 5 minutes; spread evenly over top. Sprinkle with remaining toffee bits. Let cool completely. Cut into 3-inch squares; cut each square diagonally into 4 triangles.
