Make this quick, crunchy, buttery toffee using graham crackers as the base. It requires only five main ingredients and skips the candy thermometer, making it a simple, fast sweet treat perfect for parties or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 cups graham cracker squares, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional addition)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the graham cracker pieces in a single layer covering the prepared baking sheet surface.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Let the mixture boil for 3 to 5 minutes without stirring. Watch it closely until the mixture turns a rich caramel color. This is the toffee base.
  5. Immediately pour the hot toffee evenly over the graham crackers, spreading it slightly if needed to cover all the crackers.
  6. Bake the sheet in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until the toffee is bubbly and set.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer.
  8. Let the chocolate sit undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes to melt. Then, use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly across the top.
  9. If you are using them, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the melted chocolate layer now.
  10. Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator until firm.
  11. Break the cooled toffee into irregular pieces and serve your crunchy chocolate toffee.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use good quality butter and chocolate.
  • Store the finished graham cracker crack in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its crisp texture.
  • If you want a different flavor, substitute the semisweet chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips.
