Sometimes your dessert tables and cookie exchanges
need more than just regular cookies or dessert bars. Chocolate Chip Cookies and other classic cookies are delicious and all, but sometimes you need something different, like Crockpot Christmas candy, Chocolate Peppermint Bark, and these Graham Cracker Toffee Bars to hit the table.
Why You'll Love This Toffee
If you need a quick holiday treat that never fails to impress, these Graham Cracker Toffee Bars are the answer. This recipe comes together in minutes with pantry staples, and the result is delicious. Perfect for gifting, parties, cookie trays, or when you just have a sweet tooth.
Let's Gather The Ingredients
- Honey Graham Cracker Sheets- These create the crisp base for the bars and soak up the buttery toffee layer beautifully.
- Butter- Melts with the sugar to form a rich, caramel-like toffee coating.
- Light Brown Sugar- Adds sweetness and that classic toffee flavor thanks to its molasses content.
- Pecans: Walnuts, almonds, cashews, or even a nut-free crunchy topping like pretzel bits or pumpkin seeds all work great.
- Milk Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips also work if you want to amp up the rich flavor.
- Optional Toppings: You can use extra nuts or seasonal sprinkles.
How To Make These Toffee Bars
- Step 1: Line your large baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the graham cracker sheets. Set aside.
- Step 2: Add butter, brown sugar, and pecans to a saucepan.
- Step 3: Simmer mixture, stir to combine.
- Step 4: Pour your mixture over the graham crackers and use a spatula to spread. Bake.
- Step 5: Remove from oven, add chocolate chips, and set the tray aside so they can melt. Spread the toffee mixture.
- Step 6: Add chopped nuts or sprinkles if using and place the baking sheet in the fridge before breaking the graham cracker toffee bark into pieces.
Recipe Tips
- Use parchment paper when lining the pan. It’s the only thing that prevents the treats from sticking. Aluminum foil won't work.
- Wait to break the bars until after they've chilled. The cold helps the toffee and chocolate set properly so you get clean pieces.
- You can make this a nut-free dessert, as is commonly needed at a bake sale.
- These bars store beautifully and can be made 2-3 days ahead of time. They actually taste even better after chilling overnight.
- You can use a smaller pan so the toffee and chocolate layers are thicker and chewier.
Recipe Faq's
This usually happens when the sugar mixture wasn’t fully melted or was cooked too fast. Keep the heat medium-low and stir until smooth before pouring over the crackers; otherwise, you'll end up with grainy toffee.
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for the firmest texture or at room temperature for a slightly softer bite.
You can freeze this graham cracker crack. Place the broken pieces in a freezer-safe container with parchment between layers. They freeze well for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge or enjoy slightly frozen for another fun treat.
