Graham Cracker Toffee Bars is salty, sweet, chewy, crunchy and I bet you can’t eat just one!
I made Graham Cracker Toffee Bars and packaged them in cute bags as party favors. I like to feed people, it’s what I do. Besides, what child doesn’t like to get a bag of candy as a treat?
I knew I wanted to makes them into treats for the his friends after the success of my S’mores Crack Candy Recipe I made during the holidays.
Graham Cracker Toffee Bars
Basically, this recipe is a simple one. You have to be a little patient making the caramel, but that’s the hardest part. After the caramel is made, you pour it over crackers and bake. This turns the caramel into a hard candy similar to toffee. At this point you can top it with a variety of chocolate or candy. You can really make it in about 20 minutes, but you’ll need to allow the chocolate to cool and harden. If you plan to package it, allow yourself about an hour of cooling time.
While this is a great recipe for kids’ treats, I don’t recommend having them help make it. Hot sugar should be taken seriously, keep kids and animals out of the kitchen when working with it.

I have a serious weakness for anything involving toffee – and these bars look completely irresistible! What a great idea for kids’ party favors! I would have gone for that in a heartbeat over some of the stuff I remember getting as a kid, like flimsy plastic toys and plastic rings.

These look so good! I know I couldn’t have these in my house or they would disappear very quickly. I love M & M’s.
