    Why You Will Like This Recipe

    Easter is coming up pretty quick and last weekend I was already buying the candy. That's the best part about Easter right? My favorite is the Starburst jelly beans and those Reese's peanut butter eggs.

    This recipe is based off a recipe for sweet and saltines. It's basically saltine crackers with caramel sauce and melted chocolate on top. The butter and sugar kind of soak into the crackers making it look like toffee almost.

     I just changed the chocolate to white chocolate chips and added different Easter candy on top. It's so good! I had to hide it because I'm watching my calorie intake now.

    Some other easy candy recipes to try are Trisha Yearwood's Slow Cooker Chocolate Candy and Alton Brown's Homemade Candy Corn

    Substitutions for WW

    Most of you come here for Weight Watcher recipes and this is not a healthy recipe by any means. I like to to also keep up with trends and the different Holiday seasons.

    Replace the following ingredients with these to make this crack more WW friendly. The recipe ends up being 3 tablespoons per serving.

    12 light wheat crackers (like reduced-fat Wheat Thins or WW-brand crackers)

    2 tablespoon light butter (or a butter substitute like I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter)

    2 tablespoon brown sugar substitute (like Swerve or Lakanto)

    2 tablespoon Lily’s no-sugar-added chocolate chips

    Recipe FAQS

    Can I use jelly beans in my Easter bark?

    Jelly beans are very sweet and I don't recommend using them for this recipe. Use chocolate based candies instead.

    How do I store leftovers?

    Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic, whatever! Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container.
