Graham Cracker Toffee
Recipe Type: Candy,
Chocolate,
Graham Crackers
Yields: serves many
Prep time: 20 min
Ingredients:
12 plain graham cracker (the double or long crackers)
1/2 cup salted or unsalted butter*
1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cup semi-sweet
chocolate chips**
1/2 to 3/4 cup toasted nut (pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts), chopped
* If using
unsalted butter, add 1/8 teaspoon salt.
** Use a
good-quality chocolate chips for best flavor.
Preparation:
Preheat
oven to 375 degrees F.
Line a 13- x 10-inch rimmed
cookie sheet (with low sides) with aluminum foil, leaving a slight overhang.
Arrange the graham crackers in
a single layer on the prepared cookie sheet, breaking the cracker to fit if
necessary; set aside.
In a heavy saucepan over low
heat, melt the butter and brown sugar. Cook approximately 5 minutes,
stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat.
Pour the hot butter mixture
over the top of the graham crackers, spreading evenly and completely
covering the top of the crackers. Place in the oven and bake for
approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
 Scatter
the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the crackers. Return to the oven
and bake approximately 2 to 3 minutes or until the chocolate softens.
Remove from oven and, using a
spatula, spread the melted chocolate chips evenly over the crackers.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the top of the chocolate.
Let cool until harden. For a
quick hardening, cool for 30 minutes and then transfer the baking sheet with
the toffee to the freezer for 15 minutes.
When cool, break or cut
cracker into pieces.
