VEGAN BUTTER:

• Use the vegan butter to prepare the smooth base of the toffee. It melts fast, so it is easy to work with this butter. This butter provides the high fat content so the toffee sets properly. Utilize any kind of vegan butter to prepare this recipe.

BROWN SUGAR:

• Use the brown sugar to provide the deep taste of caramel.  It mixes nicely with the butter and thickens perfectly as it boils. We can utilize both light and dark brown sugar, as they provide the same sweet taste.

VEGAN DARK CHOCOLATE:

• Vegan dark chocolate chips melt uniformly and remain smooth with the hot toffee. The chocolate chips should contain a minimum of 60% cocoa to provide a strong chocolate taste.

VEGAN CRACKERS:

• Choose the vegan crackers to prepare this toffee bark. Use the matzo, or saltine crackers, for this purpose. The light salt content of these crackers helps to balance the sweet topping.

• Use the nuts or seeds in crushed form to provide a slight texture. Use different varieties like peanuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds. It provides the healthy fat content in them, and the bark looks more decorative.
