- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar packed

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F and line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper.
- Line the bottom of the dish with graham crackers (breaking in half or quarters in order to fully line the dish).
- In a saucepan add the butter and melt over medium-high heat. Once almost melted add brown sugar and stir.
- Once the sugar and butter are combined add chopped pecans and stir.
- Stir continuously until the mixture begins to boil and thicken. Let the mixture boil for several minutes until it just starts to become foamy.

- Bake for 7 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven, then sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly on top. Place a baking sheet or a piece of foil overtop the baking dish and let sit for a few minutes until the chocolate chips melt.
- Once melted, use a spatula to evenly spread the chocolate chips across the toffee. Then sprinkle the top with toffee bits.
- Let completely cool before cutting.

- Melt chocolate quickly: To speed up melting the chocolate, place the baking sheet (or foil) overtop the baking dish, then set in the oven (turned off but still warm from baking).
- Stir constantly: Your toffee needs to be stirred very frequently to prevent burning. Almost non-stop - if you do stop stirring, be ready to jump right back at it within a few seconds.
- Graham crackers: Some of the graham crackers will need to be broken in half or quarters to fully cover the baking dish. You want the dish fully covered so you get more bars.
- Let boil: Let the toffee boil for several minutes before pouring over the crackers. This will prevent the Christmas crack from being too sticky. You'll know it's good to go when it just starts to become foamy.
