Toffee Chips
Crunchy toffee chips with pecans and graham crackers offer a sweet, buttery treat perfect for sharing at parties or as a comforting snack.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the graham crackers on it to cover the surface.
- In a saucepan, boil together the butter and white sugar for 3 minutes.
- Pour the hot butter mixture evenly over the crackers, ensuring they are completely covered.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans over the coated crackers.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool before breaking into pieces.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting brown sugar for white sugar. If you don’t have pecans, walnuts or almonds work well too. Ensure the butter is fully melted before boiling to create a smooth toffee. Keep an eye on the baking time as oven temperatures can vary. For an extra kick, add a pinch of sea salt over the top before baking.
Serving Suggestions
These toffee chips make a delightful dessert on their own or can be served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. They also pair wonderfully with coffee or tea. For a fun twist, chop them up and sprinkle over a Maple Syrup Cake for added texture and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover toffee chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If the weather is humid, refrigerate them to maintain their crispness. Reheat in a low oven for a few minutes to restore crunchiness before serving, or enjoy them as is for a chewy treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can use gluten-free graham crackers as a substitute for traditional ones. Many brands offer gluten-free options that will work just as well in this recipe, allowing everyone to enjoy these delicious toffee chips.
How do I prevent the toffee from sticking to the foil?
To prevent sticking, ensure the foil is well greased with butter or cooking spray before laying down the graham crackers. This will create a non-stick surface, making it easier to remove the toffee chips once they have cooled.
