Layer the Ritz crackers to cover the parchment paper completely.
In a medium saucepan, cook the butter and brown sugar over medium heat until simmering.
Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the Ritz crackers, and bake in the oven for 5 minutes more.
While hot, sprinkle the chocolate chips over top of the bubbly toffee. Allow 1-2 minutes for the chips to begin to melt, then carefully smooth out evenly over top.
If desired, top with a sprinkle of coarse sea salt.
Allow the bark to set completely at room temperature, then break into large pieces and enjoy.
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week with parchment paper between layers.
