Make this rich, buttery, and irresistibly crunchy graham cracker toffee. This simple recipe layers crisp crackers with homemade toffee and chocolate for a decadent dessert that tastes better than store-bought versions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ sleeves graham crackers (about 13 to 15 crackers)
  • 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter (2 ½ sticks)
  • 1 ¼ cups dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped pecans or sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet (about 15×10 inches) with aluminum foil and set aside.
  2. Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, breaking them as needed to cover the entire surface.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and dark brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a full boil and let it boil for exactly one minute, stirring gently. Do not overcook.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the graham crackers, spreading it quickly to cover all the crackers.
  6. Bake for 5 minutes. The toffee should be bubbly.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer. Let the chocolate sit for 5 minutes to soften.
  8. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee layer using an offset spatula. If using, sprinkle chopped nuts or sea salt over the chocolate now.
  9. Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
  10. Once set, break the toffee into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a shatteringly crisp toffee, make sure you boil the butter and sugar mixture for a full minute.
  • You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate or white chocolate chips for variety.
  • This recipe is great for making ahead of time for holiday gifts or parties.
