The BEST and easiest Toffee Bark – With the flavors of butter, toasted pecans and brown sugar, this sweet and salty melt-in-your-mouth toffee is deliciously addicting!

Toffee stacked on a white plate.It’s time for us to talk about holiday gift giving. Not the kind of gifts that are purchased in the toy section or ordered online, but the best kind; the kind that come out of your kitchen!

Let’s make this holiday season about giving, and what better gift to give than homemade Pecan Praline Toffee? This easy recipe creates a buttery, sweet, and salty toffee that is to die for. Get ready to make someone happy!

Toffee stacked on a white plate.I should warn you that this toffee is seriously addicting. I can’t be left alone with it. One bite leads to another, and another, and another… Once you try it you’ll see why. In addition to being tasty, this recipe is also easy.
Unlike traditional toffee, there is no candy thermometer needed. Simply layer graham crackers on a rimmed baking sheet, pour over a mixture of butter and brown sugar, top with pecans, and bake in the oven. That’s it! This toffee is softer than traditional toffee with a buttery caramel-brown sugar flavor. It is sprinkled with just the right amount of sea salt which helps balance all the sweetness.
I started making this toffee several years ago and I continue to make it every holiday season. One recipe makes a big batch, which is perfect for gift giving (and sneaking a few pieces while assembling the gifts). Once the toffee cools, you can break it into pieces and package it up for friends, family, and neighbors. I package this toffee in Rubbermaid TakeAlongs containers. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and they have tight fitting lids which keeps food secure (no spilled toffee around here!). You can even purchase Holiday Rubbermaid TakeAlongs in a variety of holiday colors and prints.

 Here are some ways that you can decorate your Rubbermaid TakeAlongs to make them more festive:
  • Add printed (or plain) parchment paper to the inside of the packages before placing the toffee inside. This is especially useful if you are using larger sized Rubbermaid TakeAlongs and don’t want to fill the whole entire container with toffee. Tip: avoid tissue paper as this toffee is very buttery and might leave a mark on the tissue.
  • After adding the toffee and securing the lid, tie the package with decorative holiday ribbon and a decorative ornament.
  • Get your kids involved and they can decorate the containers with stick-on bows and/or holiday stickers. Kids love holiday crafts, and this is a great opportunity to teach them about giving.
Another option – Instead of preparing the toffee, you can package the majority of the toffee ingredients (graham crackers, brown sugar, pecans and salt) in a Rubbermaid TakeAlongs container along with the recipe card so the recipient can prepare the toffee whenever they choose (they’ll need to add the butter and vanilla).

I hope I’ve inspired you to prepare a delicious and festive gift for someone special. What will you be sharing this holiday season?

Ingredients

  • 15 honey graham cracker sheets, approximately
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter
  • 1 ¼ cups brown sugar, packed (light or dark)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 13x18 rimmed baking sheet/cookie sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray. Lay the graham cracker sheets side by side in an even layer, breaking pieces as needed to fill the pan. Set aside.
  • Place the pecans in a dry skillet set over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, until fragrant and toasted. Stir frequently and watch carefully so that they don't burn. Transfer the toasted pecans to a cutting board and chop.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, and boil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the vanilla extract, then carefully pour the mixture over the graham crackers. Use a rubber spatula to evenly spread it (work quickly - the toffee will start to firm up). Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top and place in the oven. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until bubbling. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt. Cool to room temperature, then transfer the cookie sheet to the refrigerator to cool completely (at least 2 hours). Once chilled, break the toffee into desired pieces.

Notes

You can store and serve the toffee chilled or at room temperature.

    In Wilmington, NC we have a commercial package of a similar toffee. You wouldn’t believe the price! I make a similar variation and will be trying this one soon. They are delicious and a favorite of Wilmingtonians!
