November wrapped me up in all the cozy magic this season brings. We had fun family moments, the cutest holiday recipes, easy gift ideas that made everyone smile, comfy looks I reached for again and again, and plenty of Ralph Lauren inspired Christmas decor that made the whole house feel like a festive little dream.

From turkey cheese balls to neighbor gifts to cozy mornings by the fire with my pups, this month was full of heart, home, and holiday cheer.

Christmas Crack (Sweet + Salty Cornflake Toffee Bark)

This easy holiday treat is the ultimate sweet and salty situation. Crunchy caramelized cornflakes topped with rich dark chocolate and finished with flaky salt. It’s simple, festive, and always a crowd favorite.

Ingredients
• 3 cups cornflakes
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 24 oz quality dark chocolate, chopped or chips
(about 2 XL bars or 2 bags. Milk chocolate will be too sweet)
• Flaky salt for finishing

Directions
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar together, stirring until smooth and bubbling for about 1 minute.
3. Remove from heat and gently fold in cornflakes until fully coated.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread cornflake mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove and allow to cool on the counter or in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
6. Melt the chocolate and pour evenly over the cooled cornflakes. Use a spatula to spread into an even layer.
7. Sprinkle with flaky salt. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until set.
8. Break into pieces and try not to eat the whole pan at once 😉

This makes the cutest gift tied up in a box or served under a glass dome for holiday entertaining
