Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet (I used a half sheet) with foil and set aside.
Place graham crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet. It will hold 15 whole graham rectangles and I break the 16th one in half and add to the end.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Then add brown sugar and a pinch of salt, and whisk until smooth.
Pour the toffee mixture over the graham crackers and spread evenly. I like to use an offset metal spatula, but a knife or the back of a spoon works well too. Bake for 10 minutes, or until bubbling.
Remove from the oven. Scatter both the white chocolate and the chocolate chips over the top of the hot toffee. Return to the oven for 1 more minute to soften the chocolate. Remove from the oven and using a spatula, swirl the chocolate together and spread over the graham crackers. Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top.
Let the toffee sit on the counter until it hardens and cools. Once slightly cool, I like to refrigerate the pan to speed up the process. Once cool and set, break the toffee into pieces.
Notes
Storing the Toffee Crack: Store the Toffee Crack in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Crackers: For a classic salty-sweet version, swap graham crackers for saltines.
Toffee: Let the toffee bubble gently for 2–3 minutes to ensure it sets properly.
Toppings: Add holiday flair with crushed peppermint, sprinkles, or a swirl of white chocolate.
