It’s not Christmas and it’s not Valentine’s, so why did I make this Red Velvet Cracker Toffee? Because I could! It doesn’t have to be a holiday to make something red velvet.

Ingredients

  • 65 chocolate graham crackers about 17 full sheets
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 226g
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar 205g
  • 18 ounces red candy melts (I used Wilton) 510g
  • ¾ cup chopped pecans, toasted 90g

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a (12" x 18") jellyroll pan with parchment paper. Spray with non-stick cooking spray before and after lining with paper. Line the pan in one single layer with the crackers. Set aside.
  • Place chopped nuts on a large cookie with edges. Spread out into a single layer. Bake for 5-8 minutes. Watch closely and do not let it burn. Remove from oven and set aside. Turn oven up to 400°F.
  • Place sugar and butter in a medium heavy saucepan over medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Once it's melted, keep stirring until it comes to a boil. Let it boil for 3 minutes or until a deep caramel color, stirring constantly. Immediately pour over crackers and spread with a spatula until crackers are completely covered.
  • Bake for 5-6 minutes. It will be bubbly. While it's baking, place candy melts in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes. Stir until completely smooth. Take the baked toffee out of the oven and immediately pour the melted candy of the toffee. Spread with a spatula until toffee is completely covered. Sprinkle with toasted pecans. Let it cool completely, then slice and serve. Store in a airtight container for up to a week.
