Equipment

Ingredients

1 package Honey Graham Crackers
14 ounces Hershey's chocolate bars (I use two large 7oz bars)
1 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9x13'' pan with cooking spray, then lay parchment paper on top, so it sticks firmly in the pan.
Place graham cracker sheets to cover the bottom of the pan.
Toffee layer: 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.
Bake: Remove from heat then pour mixture over graham crackers and spread into an even layer. Bake for 7 minutes.
Add chocolate: While the bars are baking, unwrap the Hershey's chocolate bars and break 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).
Smooth melted chocolate evenly over the bars.
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.

Notes

Chocolate: Use white chocolate instead of milk or dark, or drizzle some melted white chocolate on top of the milk chocolate.

Crackers: Saltine crackers are also a popular choice for Christmas crack. You could also use club crackers or ritz crackers. You could even try a base of pretzels.

Candy: Sprinkle on some crushed peppermint candy, m&m's, or sprinkles.

Make Ahead Instructions: Graham cracker toffee will store well in the fridge for at least a week, in an airtight container.

Freezing Instructions: Freeze in an air-tight container for up to 3 months, with a piece of parchment paper between layers to keep them from sticking together.
