Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Packed Brown Sugar
- 1 package Graham Crackers (about 9 crackers)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Make Toffee Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and packed brown sugar together, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Arrange Graham Crackers: Place the graham crackers in a single, even layer on the bottom of the prepared baking pan, covering the entire surface.
- Pour Toffee Mixture: Carefully pour the melted butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the graham crackers, ensuring all crackers are coated.
- Bake Toffee: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and caramelized.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer. Let stand for a few minutes so the chocolate chips melt.
- Spread Chocolate: Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate evenly across the top of the toffee for a smooth chocolate layer.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature for the chocolate to set before cutting into bars for serving.
Notes
- Optional: For extra flavor and texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate chips before the chocolate melts.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness.
- These bars can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated to firm up faster if needed.
