Easy Graham Cracker Toffee
Updated April 09, 2020
Easy Graham Cracker Toffee-you only need 5 ingredients to make this delicious and addicting toffee! It is the perfect treat for the holiday season.
I go cookie crazy every December, but I also like to make other treats, like this Easy Graham Cracker Toffee. It is one of our family’s favorite recipes. I’ve been making this recipe since I was a little kid. Well, I helped a little and ate A LOT:) It tastes just like homemade toffee, but it is SO much easier. You can whip up this tasty toffee in no time, which makes it the perfect treat for the holidays. It is a stress-free treat and everyone LOVES it!
I love this toffee because is a no fail recipe. It comes out perfect every single time.
You only need five ingredients to make the toffee: graham crackers, butter, brown sugar, chocolate chips, and almonds. We like to use Annie’s Honey Grahams, they are our favorite!
I will show you how easy this toffee is to make, just in case you don’t believe me:)
First, line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat (parchment paper or foil will work too). Add a layer of graham crackers.
In a saucepan on the stove, boil the butter and brown sugar together. Pour the hot mixture over the graham crackers. Bake in the oven for 8 minutes.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let the chips sit for about two minutes or until they start to melt.
Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the grahams.
Sprinkle with chopped almonds. If you prefer pecans, go ahead and use them, both are tasty!
Let the toffee sit until the chocolate hardens. You can place the pan in the freezer or fridge to hurry up the process…or you can place the pan outside in the cold. Just make sure the pan is safe, you don’t want any wild animals stealing the toffee:)
When the toffee is set up, break it into pieces and enjoy!
The recipe makes a huge pan of toffee which is a good thing because it is ADDICTING! Once I start eating, I can’t stop. I usually make two pans, one for us and one to share with family and friends.
You can put the toffee in a festive tin or box and give it to your neighbors, co-workers, teachers, friends, and family for Christmas. It is also a great treat to serve at holiday parties or just keep some on hand for when guests drop by!
This Easy Graham Cracker Toffee is one of our favorite holiday treats and we hope you like it too! And make sure you try our Saltine Cracker Toffee too! The saltines add a nice saltiness that you won’t be able to resist!

How to Make Graham Cracker Toffee
Easy Graham Cracker Toffee
Ingredients
- 15 Graham Cracker sheets
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat, parchment paper, or aluminum foil. If you are using aluminum foil, spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place graham crackers in a single layer, touching, on the large baking sheet. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together over medium-high heat. Bring butter and brown sugar mixture to a boil. Simmer for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour mixture evenly over graham crackers. Bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top of the graham crackers. Let the chocolate chips sit for 2 minutes so they have a chance to melt. Spread melted chocolate with a knife or rubber spatula. Sprinkle almonds or pecans on top.
- Let the graham cracker toffee sit for about 2 hours or until the chocolate hardens. If you are in a hurry, you can refrigerate the toffee for an hour, or freeze for 30 minutes. When chocolate is set up, break the toffee into pieces and enjoy!

so easy and can add any toppings you like. coconut or sea salt are great options.
Yum!
Finally tried this morning and it tastes yummy (cut off a small piece from a corner). It has been over 4 hours and I am concerned that mine will not harden enough to break up and store without the pieces sticking together. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see!
Have you tried it with Gluten Free graham crackers? They are a different texture
I haven’t but if you like them, go for it!
I think this recipe should be great. Just a word of caution, do not use Nestle Toll House chocolate chips because they will not melt! I have been trying to melt them now for 10 minutes in the oven. I have taken them out at 2 minutes, then 4 minutes, then another 4 and they are still not spreadable. Whenever I take a spatula to spread them they pull up the perfect caramel underneath and look like flattened chocolate chips but they will not melt into a layer. I don’t normally buy this brand, they just happened to be on sale.
Good to know! I love Guittard chocolate chips!
You can try adding a tbsp of coconut oil and melt on stove. I use Lilys and I do it like that :)))
I had the same problem so I used a blow dryer to melt them
Would salted butter be ok to use for the graham cracker toffee?
Yes!
I like to make this at Christmas and instead of almonds, I crush candy canes. It makes it look festive and the peppermint is refreshing with the chocolate.
Fun!
We do this too. We put a slew of crushed almonds on top and it’s so nice to taste the peppermint and the toffee. This year I put white and brown chocolate chips as well and made a swirled pattern. Very nice!
I meant a slew of crushed candy canes…Argh! too much baking has muddled my brain!
So festive!
This honestly is my favourite variation of “Christmas Crack”. I love it! We make it every year! Thank you so much for sharing it!
You are welcome! It’s so easy and so good!
This recipe is delicious! My butter and brown sugar never combined and the butter was oily. Do you happen to know what causes this and how to correct it? It was still delicious.
Thank you
I made this for Christmas using gluten Free graham wafers, and everyone loved it. Will keep this on my repertoire for future Christmas celebrations
I am glad you loved the toffee!
Once again a fantastic recipe . My friends and family couldn’t get enough. My only question is as I was breaking it up some of the chocolate separated from the cracker any advice?
