This Christmas Crack recipe has been so popular, and is truly addicting! It’s in my top three favorites alongside Buckeyes and Homemade Caramels! Don’t miss all my other favorite holiday and Christmas candy recipes!
If I’m ever trying to think of a really simple dessert or treat that would be great for a crowd, easy to make for a party, or perfect for a Christmas treat for neighbors, these Graham cracker toffee bars come to mind. I love how these bars have that wonderful toffee taste, but they’re not as brittle and hard as regular toffee. In lots of ways, they remind me of a homemade candy bar. They are fantastic, and would make great holiday gifts for neighbors. If you love toffee, make sure to try my Sticky Toffee Pudding!
Ingredients for Christmas Crack:
How to make Christmas Crack:
Prepare your pan. Line bottom of a 8×13” baking pan with parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray. (You could also make these in a smaller 8” pan, by cutting the recipe ingredients in half.)
Layer graham crackers. Spread the graham crackers along the bottom of the pan to act as the base for our bars.
Cook pecan topping. Melt the butter to a saucepan, add the brown sugar and pecans and stir the mixture until everything is combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil for 5 minutes.
Pour over graham crackers. Pour the mixture over the graham crackers and smooth into one layer.
Bake for 7 minutes.
Top with chocolate. Break the Hershey’s candy bars into pieces and carefully place them all over the top of the toffee layer. Cover the pan until the chocolate begins to melt (5-10 minutes). Smooth the chocolate into an even layer over the bars.
Cool. Allow them to cool completely before cutting and serving. Refrigerate if you want, but after removing them from the fridge, wait for at least 15 minutes before cutting them so the chocolate can soften.
