GRAHAM CRACKER TOFFEE BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Arrange graham squares in single layer in 15x10x1-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bring butter and sugar to boil in medium saucepan on medium heat; cook 1 to 2 min. or until butter is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring frequently. Pour over grahams; immediately spread to completely cover grahams.
• Bake 6 to 8 min. or until topping is lightly browned and bubbly. Top with chopped chocolate; bake 1 to 2 min. or until melted. Immediately spread chocolate over grahams. Sprinkle with nuts; press lightly into chocolate with back of spoon. Cool completely before breaking into squares.

SALTED TOFFEE-CHOCOLATE SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place graham crackers in a single layer on sheet, edges touching. Sprinkle toffee bits and almonds over graham crackers.
• In a small saucepan, bring sugar and butter to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat and cook at a rapid simmer, swirling pan occasionally, until mixture is syrupy, 2 minutes. Immediately pour over graham crackers. Bake until sugar topping is bubbling, 12 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate and salt over graham crackers. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into 2-inch squares. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack. (Store in an airtight container, up to 1 week.)

CHOCOLATE CRACKER TOFFEE

Steps:

• Place the crackers in a single layer on the bottom of a baking pan.
• Place the butter and brown sugar in a large saucepan, bring to a roiling boil and cook for 5 minutes.
• Pour the mixture on the crackers and gently spread it out evenly over them.
• Bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven until the caramel is bubbling all over, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, sprinkle the chocolate on immediately, wait until the chocolate turns a dark glossy colour, about 30 seconds, and gently spread the chocolate over the top.
• Sprinkle any toppings on while the chocolate is still wet before letting it cool completely.
• When everything is set, break into pieces and enjoy.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL GRAHAM CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 15- by 10- by 1-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang at each end.
• Line bottom of pan with graham crackers (it will be a tight fit).
• Melt butter in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, then add brown sugar and salt and cook, whisking, until mixture is smooth and combined well, about 1 minute. Pour over crackers, spreading evenly, and bake in middle of oven until golden brown and bubbling, about 10 minutes.
• Scatter chocolate chips evenly over crackers and bake in oven until chocolate is soft, about 1 minute. Remove pan from oven and gently spread chocolate evenly over crackers with offset spatula. Sprinkle nuts evenly over chocolate and cool crackers in pan on a rack 30 minutes. Freeze until chocolate is firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Carefully lift crackers from pan by grasping both ends of foil, then peel foil from crackers. Break crackers into serving pieces.

SALTED CHOCOLATE TOFFEE BARS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover a cooking sheet with aluminum foil. Place graham crackers in a layer on the sheet, without overlapping. (They should fit perfectly, but you might have to turn some of them sideways.) NOTE: If you break the crackers into squares at this point, it will make it easier to cut them later. I figured this out AFTER I made them. =^..^=
• 2. Sprinkle the graham crackers with toffee bits...
• 3. ...then nuts. (This is when you could also sprinkle a few Rice Krispies, too, if you want.)
• 4. In a small pan, melt butter & sugar together over medium-high heat, NOT STIRRING. (This is important!) You can swirl the mixture in the pan occasionally. When the mixture starts to boil, REDUCE heat and cook at a rapid simmer for 2 minutes, swirling occasionally.
• 5. Once the butter & sugar mixture is syrupy, remove from the heat and immediately pour over the graham crackers.
• 6. Bake in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, until the syrup is bubbling.
• 7. Remove the pan from the oven & place on a wire rack. Immediately sprinkle chocolate chips (and/or butterscotch chips) over the graham crackers. (NOTE: I used the entire bag of chocolate chips but it was, and I don't say this often, too much chocolate for me. So I've listed a smaller amount in the ingredients section. But suit yourself, as I always encourage!)
• 8. NOTE: You can leave the chocolate chips as they are or spread the chocolate with a knife, if you want, after waiting a few minutes until the chocolate chips soften. You could also add the raisins or craisins before spreading the chips.
• 9. Sprinkle with coarse salt. (I actually do this with my fingers to make sure it all doesn't end up in one spot!) It doesn't take much!
• 10. Cut the bars into 2 inch squares with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. If you broke the graham crackers up into squares early, this will be REALLY easy!
• 11. Cool completely on the cookie sheet, but I usually put them in the refrigerator to set the chocolate once they finally cool enough to do so.
• 12. Carefully peel the aluminum foil from the backs of the bars. (Don't ask me how I know this!) Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
