Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 package (14.4 oz) graham crackers
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your toffee bakes evenly and achieves a nice golden color.
- Line a baking sheet (approximately 15x10 inches) with aluminum foil or parchment paper. This will help prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.
- Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. You can break them into pieces if needed to fit the entire surface.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, let it cook for an additional 3-4 minutes without stirring, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately pour the butter and sugar mixture evenly over the graham crackers, making sure to cover them as much as possible.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
- While the toffee is baking, prepare the topping. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Once the toffee is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the hot toffee. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.
- Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. Once it is set but still slightly warm, you can sprinkle additional toppings if desired, such as crushed peanuts or sea salt.
- After the toffee has completely cooled, carefully lift it out of the baking sheet using the edges of the foil or parchment paper. Break it into pieces or cut it into squares.
- Store the Peanut Butter Cup Graham Cracker Toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better your butter, chocolate, and peanut butter, the more delicious your toffee will be.
- Watch the toffee carefully while cooking to prevent burning. The key is a golden-brown color, not dark brown.
- For even melting, use room temperature butter and chop chocolate chips into smaller pieces.
- Line your baking sheet completely to make removal and cleanup easier.
- Allow the toffee to cool naturally at room temperature for the best texture and set.
- For extra indulgence, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt or chopped nuts on top for additional flavor and crunch.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent the toffee from becoming sticky.
