  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 15 bars 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 full sleeve Saltine crackers
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup oats (ground)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips (melted)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare your baking dish. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the crushed Saltine crackers on the bottom.
  2. In a medium size pot, add brown sugar, butter and salt. Melt the ingredients in the pot while stirring frequently. Bring the mixture to a boil (it should be a darker brown color by now). Cook for about 4 more minutes over the stove stove top, stirring occasionally. Then, remove the mixture from the heat.
  3. Pour the toffee mixture over the top of the crushed crackers and spread evenly across until all the pieces are coated. Bake the toffee saltines in the oven for 5 more minutes. There should be small bubbles forming on the top. Allow the base layer to cool.
  4. While the toffee cracker layer is cooling, it’s time to make the tahini layer. Start by adding the melted butter, ground oats, and and powdered sugar to a mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients until well combined. Then add the tahini and vanilla bean paste to the oat mixture. 
  5. Once the bottom layer has cooled completely, gently spread the tahini mixture over the top, using your fingers to press it evenly over the bottom layer.
  6. In a small mixing bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave, stopping to stir the mixture ever 30 seconds. Once the chocolate is completely melted, pour it over the top of the bars.
  7. Place small dollops of tahini on the top and swirl it into the chocolate using the tip of a knife or end of a toothpick.
  8. Place the dish in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to harden all the layers. After the bars have hardened, remove the bars from the dish by pulling up on the parchment paper. Using a large knife, cut into 16 squares.
