How to Make Easy Toffee Bars - Christmas Crack Recipe

This Christmas Crack is so easy to make and also makes a great teacher gift. The sweet and salty combo is the chef's kiss.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boxes Simple Mills graham crackers
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  • 1-12 oz bag chocolate chips
  • 2 TBS coconut oil
  • flaky sea salt optional
  • Christmas sprinkles optional

Method
 

  1. Pre heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line cookie sheet with a sheet of parchment paper and grease generously with cooking spray.
  2. Arrange graham crackers in a single layer on cookie sheet.
  3. Over medium heat, melt the butter and about half way through add the coconut sugar. Bring to a boil and allow to cook for another 3-4 minutes. Stir continuously and reduce heat if necessary to keep from boiling over. The mixture will separate in this process.
  4. Add vanilla extra and a pinch of salt. Stir one more time.
  5. Pour caramel toffee mixture over graham crackers. Use a spoon or spatula to spread out evenly.
  6. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
  7. While the toffee bar bakes in the oven, melt chocolate and coconut oil using a microwave or double boiler.
  8. After the toffee and graham crackers have baked for 5 minutes, remove from the oven. Pour chocolate sauce over the bars, using a spatula to even spread.
  9. If using, sprinkle with sea salt (about 1/2 teaspoons) and sprinkles (to your liking).
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
  11. Break into pieces and enjoy!
