Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets graham crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or almonds)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lightly grease the lining to prevent sticking.
Lay the graham cracker sheets evenly across the bottom of the baking sheet, breaking them as necessary to completely cover the surface.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar and salt until fully combined.
Continue cooking the butter and sugar mixture, stirring constantly, until it just begins to boil and becomes smooth (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.
Carefully pour the hot sugar mixture evenly over the graham crackers, using a spatula to spread it if needed.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the sugar and butter mixture is bubbling evenly.
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top. Let the chocolate sit for about 2-3 minutes to melt from the residual heat.
Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, gently spread the melted chocolate into an even layer over the graham crackers.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the melted chocolate for added texture and flavor.
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer it to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to set completely.
Once the chocolate is firm, break the dessert into irregular bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
