Chocolate Toffee Graham Bars

Submitted by MA HIKER

"These defy description - are they a bar cookie? Or are they candy? Either way they are delicious, very very easy to make. I always make these at holiday time and I also make a big three batch amount to donate to my church's "cookie walk" at our holiday fair. Of course everyone LOVES them. I got this recipe years ago - one of my first years of teaching from a regular substitute teacher who brought them in to share."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 96 bars

ingredients

• 1 1⁄4 cups butter or 1 1/4 cups margarine
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped walnuts or 1 cup pecans
• 15 whole graham crackers (can be honey graham or plain)
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1⁄4 cup colored sprinkles

directions

1. In an 11 by 17 inch jelly roll pan, lightly greased, place whole graham crackers side by side.
2. I also cut strips to fill in all the open spaces so the whole pan is covered.
3. Bring the butter and brown sugar to boil.
4. When bubbly add the chopped walnuts or pecans and bring to boil again.
5. Pour over graham crackers.
6. Bake 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with the chocolate chips.
8. They won’t fully cover the crackers.
9. Turn off the oven but put pan back in for a minute or two to help the chips melt.
10. Then take the pan out of the oven and spread the chips over the bars with a spatula.
11. Sprinkle the colored nonpareils on top of these after spreading the melted chocolate to add a “festive” look.
12. Let the bars cool for 1 hour or so and then cut them into little squares with a sharp knife.
13. They might break up a bit when you do this but then it is fun to eat the scraps!
14. Keep these in a closed container in the fridge.
