Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets graham crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 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). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
Arrange the graham cracker sheets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they cover the entire surface with no gaps.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and takes on a smooth caramel consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Carefully pour the caramel mixture over the graham crackers, using a spatula to spread it evenly and ensure all crackers are coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and fully set.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot caramel-coated crackers. Let the chips sit for 2-3 minutes to soften, then use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the melted chocolate for added crunch and flavor.
Let the graham cracker candy cool completely at room temperature. Then place it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to set the chocolate fully.
Once hardened, break the candy into pieces of your desired size and store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
