Ingredients

  • 13 honey graham crackers (about 1½ sleeves)
  • cup (2½ sticks) salted butter
  • cups dark brown sugar
  • 1 bag (10 oz) dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Heath toffee bits

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Prepare a Jelly Roll Pan (10x15-inches) with parchment paper.
  • Lay the whole graham cracker sheets on the bottom of the pan in one layer. You may need to break some in half, but try to keep as many of the graham cracker sheets whole as possible. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, over medium high heat, stir the butter and dark brown sugar together until the butter has melted and everything is combined.

  • Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, while stirring continuously, until it has thickened and lightened slightly in color.

  • Pour the hot toffee mixture over the graham crackers inside the pan and immediately spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  • Place the pan in the oven and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the sugar mixture is bubbling evenly all over.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the dark chocolate chips over it. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the chocolate chips can melt enough to spread.

Notes

Butter : I recommend using salted butter to balance the sweetness. If you use unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt in with the other saucepan ingredients. 
The recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups of butter which is equal to 2 1/2 sticks of butter. Each stick is 8 tablespoons so it's equivalent to 20 tablespoons of butter. 
Brown Sugar : You can substitute with light brown sugar if you prefer, though the dark brown sugar adds depth to the flavor of the toffee. Either one will work just fine. Just note that if you use light brown sugar, the caramel won't be as dark as what is pictured. 
Toffee Bits : I recommend buying the already chopped toffee bits (without the milk chocolate coating) that you can find in the baking aisle by the chocolate chips. In a pinch you can use a Heath toffee bar that you chop up, but it does have that milk chocolate coating so it will melt when you sprinkle it over top the chocolate layer of the toffee. 
Chocolate Chips : Feel free to use semi-sweet chocolate chips or even milk chocolate chips instead of dark. It will be slightly sweeter if you choose to use another type, but still delicious!
