Notes

My Advice with Other Variations to Try

  • You can use chopped chocolate instead of chips as they have a non-melting coating which will help further to keep their shape.
  • Avoid chocolates with a high percentage of cacao as they possess a tendency to become brittle and separate from the cracker layer.
  • Don’t worry If your chocolate isn’t melting or spreading easily on the hot toffee in the sheet pan. Just use a hair dryer to re-melt the chocolate until it’s smooth.
  • Prefer to cool overnight in the fridge (not the freezer). In freezing the layers get cool rapidly which can sometimes cause them to separate.
