Graham Toffee Ingredients

  • This recipes uses graham crackers but feel free to sub soup crackers in place of graham crackers if desired, they will work perfectly.
  • The toffee is made simply with brown sugar and butter. The secret is in the timing and temperature of the toffee for the perfectly chewy texture!
  • Pecans are always a favorite, but coarsely chopped walnuts, or even almonds would be delicious!
  • Use any type of chocolate you like – my favorite for this is dark chocolate chips. White, milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips will also work well, or mix up a unique combination of them all!
  • Use any toppings that your family will like. I used M&M’s and pretzel sticks. To be honest, I prefer the pretzel sticks – I love the sweet and salty combination! But use sliced almonds, shredded coconut, toffee bits, chopped candy canes or just drizzle with a different color of chocolate. This is perfect to match different holidays during the year – use an orange melting chocolate drizzled over pretzel sticks for Halloween!
process to make Graham Cracker Toffee Bars

How Do I Make Graham Toffee Bars?

  1. Line pan with foil and grease lightly.
  2. Arrange graham crackers on bottom of pan.
  3. Make the toffee layer by melting the butter and brown sugar together. Cook according to the recipe.
  4. Pour toffee over graham crackers, and bake.
  5. Remove from oven, sprinkle chocolate chips on and return to oven for 1 minute only.
  6. Spread chocolate with a spatula, then sprinkle with toppings of choice.
  7. Cool on rack, then refrigerate.

Handy Tips!

  • Use an 11×15 inch pan, the layers of toffee and chocolate will not be as thick, but it will be just as delicious!
  • Spray foil with baking spray which is so quick and easy! Or use parchment paper.
  • Once refrigerated allow bars to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before trying to slice.
  • Remove entire bar from pan, remove foil (or parchment), place on a cutting board and slice with a sharp knife.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 1 week, or in the freezer for 2-3 months. Re-use an 4 litre ice cream pail to store treats – it’s super easy and a great way to reuse those types of containers.
