A Sweet Valentines Wickwood Inn Recipe&#8230;Chocolate Toffee Bark with Sea Salt<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These thin after dinner chocolates are simply addictive. Just the right magical combination of salty to sweet has made them a staple in our repertoire. Layers of toffee bits, chocolate, toasted almonds, plus a sprinkling of sea salt have made them completely habit-forming for The Woman of Wickwood and my own sweet tooth. Best of all, they\u2019re simple to make. Makes 4 dozen, which is perfect for those who just could not make a Valentines getaway to Wickwood.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>15 store-bought or homemade graham crackers, broken into four sections<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022\u00a0<\/strong>1\u00bd bags (12 ounces) toffee bits<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022\u00a0<\/strong>1\u00bd cups raw almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022\u00a0<\/strong>\u00be cups sugar<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022\u00a0<\/strong>1\u00bc cups unsalted butter (2\u00bd sticks)<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022\u00a0<\/strong>4 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (we prefer Ghirardelli)<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022\u00a0<\/strong>\u00be teaspoon sea salt<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022\u00a0<\/strong>1 cup sliced almonds, toasted at 325\u00b0F<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place graham crackers in a single layer on sheet, edges touching. Sprinkle toffee bits and almonds evenly over the crackers.2. Bring sugar and butter to boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat and cook at a rapid simmer, swirling pan occasionally until mixture is blended and syrupy, approximately 2 minutes. Immediately pour over the graham crackers. Bake until sugar topping is bubbling, about 15-18 minutes. Immediately sprinkle chocolate and salt evenly over graham crackers. When the chocolate has melted using the back of a spoon spread it evenly using Jackson Pollock strokes across the diagonal of the surface creating a striated surface. Sprinkle evenly with the sliced almonds and allow to cool completely. Bars may be cut with a sharp knife or broken apart into irregular pieces with the tip of a knife. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;All you need is love.
