INGREDIENTS NEEDED (SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR THE FULL RECIPE CARD):
- Graham crackers
- Salted butter
- Dark brown sugar
- Chopped pecans
- English toffee bits
HOW TO MAKE GRAHAM CRACKER TOFFEE:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the graham crackers, touching onto the prepared sheet tray.
- In a medium-sized saucepot, add the butter and brown sugar. Stir constantly until the butter and sugar has melted.
- Still, stir constantly and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Once it is at a boil, boil for 1 minute, and continue to stir.
- Immediately stir in the pecans and then pour the mixture all over the graham crackers. It will not fully cover the graham crackers; that’s okay.
- Place in the oven and cook for 10 minutes.
- Once they are done baking, immediately sprinkle with the toffee bits. Gently press the bits into the caramel, do not use your hands but a spatula since the caramel is very hot.
- Allow the pralines to come to room temperature, and then break them into smaller pieces that are easy to eat.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
DO I HAVE TO USE DARK BROWN SUGAR?
No, you can use light brown sugar, but dark brown sugar gives a richer flavor.
Feel free to try out some different things with your toffee mixture. Though, I do always recommend you try the original first!
That way you have a baseline to compare yumminess!
WHAT KIND OF TOFFEE BITS ARE THE BEST TO USE?
You can get plain or with chocolate, either works great! If you like chocolate, go for the ones with chocolate.
Otherwise, the plain ones are just as tasty. In this case, it’s all about preference.
Maybe you want to try both. Are you ready for some buttery toffee?
CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD?
Absolutely! It’s actually easier to break apart this graham cracker toffee bark if you let it sit overnight.
That makes it even more of an easy holiday treat. Less work on the big day!
ANY ADDITIONS?
Whatever you think might go well with graham cracker sheets and toffee. Maybe a little vanilla extract with the sugar!

- Chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts
- A drizzle of melted chocolate
- White chocolate chips for a different flavor
- Crushed Heath bars for extra crunch
- Peanut butter chips for a peanut butter twist

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?
I always like to have options for you. It’s an easy candy recipe to change up!
