Chocolate Graham Toffee Bark
These delicious toffee candies start
with plain graham crackers and are topped with chocolate and macadamia nuts.
They make a fabulous fast and easy gift from the kitchen for any occasion. For
a variation, use a combination of graham crackers and butter crackers, and
substitute dark chocolate and honey-roasted peanuts for extra decadence.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound (two sticks) butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 box (about) graham crackers (not crumbs)
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line
a 10 x 15-inch jelly-roll pan with non-stick foil. Arrange whole graham crackers1 to fit
the bottom of the pan in a single layer, breaking up the last few to fit the
space.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and white sugar. Stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let the mixture gently bubble for 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Carefully pour sugar/butter mixture evenly over the graham cracker2 layer. Spread to cover. Bake for 10 minutes.
When done, remove from oven and let rest until bubbling subsides. Sprinkle chocolate3 chips evenly over the top. Wait about 2 minutes for chocolate4 to melt, then use a spatula to gently spread chocolate5 chips into an even layer on top of the toffee graham crackers6. Sprinkle with the chopped macadamia nuts7, pressing down gently into the chocolate8.
Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2 hours. Peel foil from chilled bark. Break into 2-inch irregular pieces.
Refrigerate any leftovers.
