The Great Savvy Bake-Off Recipe #4
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

You’ll Need

- 1 ¼ cups CHIPITS® SKOR Toffee Bits, divided
- 2 cups CHIPITS® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Prep and Cook
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

- 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.
