Christmas Crack (Graham Cracker Toffee Bars)
This irresistible Christmas Crack recipe transforms humble graham crackers into addictive toffee bars in just 25 minutes. A beloved holiday treat that combines buttery toffee with chocolate and crackers, creating the perfect balance of crunch and sweetness.
Equipment
- 9x13 pan
- Large saucepan
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 package honey graham crackers
- 14 ounces Hershey's chocolate bars (I use large 7 oz bars)
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13'' pan with parchment paper (or spray with cooking spray.) Place graham cracker sheets along the bottom of the pan.
- Add butter to a large saucepan over medium heat and allow it to melt. Add the brown sugar and pecans, and stir constantly, bringing the mixture to a full boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and pour mixture over graham crackers and spread into an even layer. Bake for 7 minutes.
- While the bars are baking, unwrap the Hershey's chocolate bars and break them into pieces.
- Remove bars from oven and carefully place chocolate pieces across the top of the toffee layer. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil to allow the chocolate to melt (5-10 minutes).
- Once chocolate has begun to melt, remove the lid and use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the bars.
- Allow to cool completely before serving. I like to store mine in the fridge to set up (not required) but I leave them out at room temperature for 15 minutes before cutting them, to allow the chocolate to soften.
