Salted Caramel Nutty Toffee – Holiday Recipe & Edible Gift

Salted Caramel Toffee Bars - the perfect holiday entertaining recipe and DIY edible gift for the hostess this holiday season!  Makes a great Christmas stocking stuffer too!
I have a thing for anything salty-sweet. Pretzels dipped in chocolate? Yes please! Brown sugar bacon? Of course! And, anything with salted caramel. You too? Then let’s get down to business.

I’m not super great at baking… I’ve managed to pull off a few successes this holiday season, but in general, let’s just say I “get by.”

If I’m going to add a recipe to my baking repertoire, it’s gotta be simple. And my Salted Caramel Nutty Toffee bars are just that. Easy peasy, crunchy and gooey, salty and sweet.

The base? Graham Crackers. The glue? Caramel.

The topping? A mix of Planter’s nuts. Topped off with chocolate morsels and sea salt. Truly decadent and definitely giftable. That is, if you can gift them before you eat them. It’s harder than you’d think.

Fortunately, I’ve got Mr. Peanut on my side. If all else fails (i.e. I eat all of the Salted Caramel Nutty Toffee bars on the way to the holiday party), I can head to my local Walmart and pick up some extra nutty goodness for the hostess. It’s just a matter of hunting down the Planter’s sleigh, and grabbing a Holiday Collection Tin (or two – these nuts are what I used in my Toffee Bars), some Brittle Nut Medley (the perfect party take-along that make a great ready-to-eat hostess gift), or a little Holiday Nut Crunch… so festive!

While you’re at it… check out the Planter’s Blippar app, which makes Planter’s nuts even more… nutty. Had to say it. Once you’ve downloaded the Blippar app on your phone, scan a Planters seasonal nut item and you’ll be presented with several options, including getting a selfie with the Mr. Peanut himself! Is that on your bucket list too? Who knew we had so many things in common? šŸ˜‰

Salted Caramel Nutty Toffee
Author: www.MomFavorites.com
The perfect salty meets sweet dessert! Great for holiday parties and DIY gifts!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Planters nuts (I used the collection in their holiday tin)
  • 14-15 whole graham cracker sheets
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange graham crackers in a single layer to fill up the sheet.
  3. Combine sugar, butter, and cream in a heavy saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and nuts.
  4. Pour the mixture over the graham crackers, spreading to coat.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or until browned and bubbly.
  6. Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle the top with 1 cup of chocoate chips. Allow to rest for 3-5 minutes, then with a spatula, smooth out the melted chocolate.
  7. Top with sea salt, then chill at least one hour before cutting into bars. Enjoy!

    I love how easy and quick this recipe is, we used to make something similar with Saltines as the base- the sweet and salty contrast was so addictive. I will have to try this with graham crackers! #client
