Yield Makes about 1 3/4 lb

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 (4 3/4- by 2 1/2-inch) graham crackers
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (9 1/2 oz)
1 cup walnuts, pecans, or almonds (3 to 4 oz), chopped
Special Equipment
a small metal offset spatula

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.
