Can I use almond bark instead of white chocolate chips?
I have never done this so I couldn’t tell you exactly how to do it but if I would to do it this how I would attempt it . Once you the crackers and brown sugar mixture bakes in the oven remove it and allow it to cool . Once the brown sugar mixture has harden and cooled I would melt your white chocolate bark and spread it evenly on the top then sprinkle the toppings . Allow this to cooled and harden before breaking .
Huge hit anywhere I take it. Absolutely delicious.
Thank you Hope !! I am so glad everyone liked it .
