Ingredients

• 12 sheets graham crackers
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or almonds)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lightly grease the lining to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Lay the graham cracker sheets evenly across the bottom of the baking sheet, breaking them as necessary to completely cover the surface.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar and salt until fully combined.

Step 4

Continue cooking the butter and sugar mixture, stirring constantly, until it just begins to boil and becomes smooth (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.

Step 5

Carefully pour the hot sugar mixture evenly over the graham crackers, using a spatula to spread it if needed.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the sugar and butter mixture is bubbling evenly.

Step 7

Remove the tray from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top. Let the chocolate sit for about 2-3 minutes to melt from the residual heat.

Step 8

Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, gently spread the melted chocolate into an even layer over the graham crackers.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the melted chocolate for added texture and flavor.

Step 10

Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer it to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to set completely.

Step 11

Once the chocolate is firm, break the dessert into irregular bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
