Ingredients
1 (14.4-ounce) box graham crackers
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a jelly roll pan (10″x15″x1″) with aluminum foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place a single layer of graham crackers on the prepared pan, covering the bottom from edge to edge. Break the crackers as needed to fit the pan.
- In a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat, combine the butter and brown sugar. Stir constantly until the mixture begins bubbling, then allow it to boil for 3 minutes.
- Remove the toffee mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans.
- Carefully pour the toffee mixture evenly over the graham crackers and spread to cover as much as possible.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the toffee cool completely before breaking into pieces.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Notes
For extra sweetness, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled toffee.
Swap the pecans for walnuts, almonds, or cashews for different flavors.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the warm toffee for a sweet-salty combination.
Break the toffee into bite-sized pieces for an easy snack or gift.
