- Bake in oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over crackers. Wait 2 minutes and spread chocolate with a spatula in an even layer. Add toppings and tamp down with spatula.
- Place tray in refrigerator or freezer until set (can cover with another layer of parchment paper).
- When bark has cooled and set, using a knife or kitchen tool, break into rough pieces. Serve on a platter lined with a doily or napkin.
