Check the link for the article this recipe came from. I found this link by chance today. Interesting!

Chocolate graham toffee fingers

13 or 14 chocolate or plain graham crackers, each broken into 4 sections

1 cup butter, melted

1 cup brown sugar

8 oz. semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped, or 8 oz. semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped

2 oz. white chocolate, melted (optional)

Set oven rack in the middle position. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cover a jelly roll pan - approximately 11-by-17 inches with a one-inch-high edge - with foil, shiny side up, and coat with vegetable spray. Line the bottom of pan evenly with graham crackers.

Heat butter and brown sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until mixture comes to a boil. Cook 3 more minutes, stirring constantly.

Pour butter mixture over the graham crackers in the jelly roll pan, spreading evenly with an offset spatula. Place pan in oven and bake 7 to 8 minutes, or until surface is bubbling and golden brown. Check every few minutes to make sure mixture is not burning or browning too quickly.

Remove pan from oven and place on rack. Sprinkle chocolate across top, let sit 5 minutes, and then spread melted chocolate with an offset spatula. Sprinkle toasted nuts across top. Drizzle white chocolate from a pastry bag over the surface. Cut into sections while still slightly warm, following the outline of the graham crackers. Chill in the refrigerator until set. Store between sheets of wax paper in a covered tin in refrigerator.

Makes 40 pieces.

Another version of the oldie I found but with more stuff- sounds good!

This version tells you to cook the sugar and butter, bake the graham sections then put chocolate on- then sprinkle nuts and drizzle white chocolate on last. When I made the "plain" version (sugar, butter, nuts but no chocolate) I loved the flavor of the cooked nuts in sugar and butter so I might try this again drizzling melted chocolate chips over the top of the same version I made-
a la Misplaced in AZ.

I love the different versions of this old classic. Thanks for posting this one, GayleMo! Over the top gourmet cracker cookies!

 
Yes, CathyZ - the oldies are definitely goodies. I like a large assortment to give away

and was excited to see your recipe. Thanks for posting it.


A friend gave me a recipe years ago for a graham cracker sandwich type cookie that had filling in it that was really good. If I come across that I'll post it. It's been many years since I made it but it was good.

Blessings from Missouri!
