Description

This Peppermint Graham Cracker Toffee is a festive holiday treat with layers of crunchy graham crackers, buttery toffee, melted chocolate, and crushed peppermint candies. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for gifting or snacking!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12–14 graham cracker sheets (enough to cover your baking sheet)
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) crushed peppermint candies or candy canes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet (10×15 inches) with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and spray lightly with non-stick spray.
  • Arrange the graham crackers:
    • Place the graham crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, breaking them as needed to fit snugly.
  • Make the toffee layer:
    • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
    • Let it boil for 3-4 minutes without stirring, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and pour the toffee evenly over the graham crackers, spreading with a spatula to cover.
  • Bake:
    • Bake the toffee-covered graham crackers in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly and golden.
  • Add the chocolate layer:
    • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes to soften, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly.
  • Top with peppermint:
    • Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies evenly over the chocolate layer while it is still warm.
  • Cool and set:
    • Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to set completely (about 1 hour).
  • Break into pieces:
    • Once set, break the toffee into pieces and serve or package as gifts.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Variations: Use white chocolate or dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
  • Topping ideas: Add chopped nuts or a drizzle of melted white chocolate along with the peppermint for extra flair.
