Make this easy graham cracker toffee, often called Christmas Crack. This recipe layers crisp crackers with buttery toffee and chocolate for a satisfying, crunchy treat. It requires simple ingredients and no oven time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sleeve graham crackers (about 13 full sheets)
  • 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter
  • 1 ¼ cups packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place the graham crackers in a single layer to cover the entire surface.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Let it boil for exactly one minute.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the graham crackers on the baking sheet. Spread it quickly to cover the crackers completely.
  5. Bake for 5 minutes. The toffee should look bubbly.
  6. Remove the sheet from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer. Let the chocolate sit for 5 minutes to soften.
  7. Spread the melted chocolate across the crackers using an offset spatula. If using nuts, sprinkle them over the melted chocolate now.
  8. Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
  9. Break the cooled toffee into irregular pieces before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the melted chocolate before it sets.
  • If you want a quicker set time, chill the bars for 15 minutes in the freezer after the chocolate is spread.
  • This homemade candy is excellent for holiday gifts when wrapped in cellophane bags.
