Ingredients
Instructions
- Line a jelly roll pan with graham crackers.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan.
- Add brown sugar to the melted butter and boil for 2 minutes.
- Pour the brown sugar and butter mixture over the graham crackers in the pan.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot mixture so they melt.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and adding a pinch of sea salt to the brown sugar mixture. You can substitute half of the chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture. If you prefer a crunchier base, bake the graham crackers for 5 minutes before adding the topping. This recipe is a delightful treat alongside Uncle Joe'S Famous Chili.
Serving Suggestions
These graham cracker cookies are perfect for sharing at gatherings or as an after-dinner treat.
