Claire Robinson's take on the perfect pairing of caramel and pecans uses just 6 pantry ingredients. You can personalize the bars too; swap macadamias for the pecans, and top with toasted coconut or sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate.

Provided by Claire Robinson

Time 50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

About 14 graham crackers (if each graham cracker is 5 by 2 1/2 inches)
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup roughly chopped pecans
Kosher salt
12 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer on the lined baking sheet.
  • Put the butter, brown sugar, 3/4 cup chopped pecans and a pinch of salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the graham crackers and bake for 15 minutes. At the same time, place the remaining 1/4 cup chopped pecans on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until fragrant, about 7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • While the graham cracker layer is baking, melt the chocolate in a glass bowl placed over simmering water. Drizzle the chocolate over the toffee-covered graham crackers, allowing some of the toffee to show, and sprinkle with the toasted pecans. Chill completely in the refrigerator, about 45 minutes. Cut into bars or break into shards for serving.

Yield Makes thirty 2- by 1 1/2-inch bar cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the base
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, beaten lightly
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
For the topping
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 cups walnuts or pecans, toasted lightly
1 tablespoon dark rum

Steps:

  • Make the base:
  • Line the bottom of a greased 13- by 9-inch baking pan with wax paper and grease the paper. In a heavy saucepan melt the butter with the cocoa, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat, beat in the brown sugar and the egg, and stir in the flour, the salt, and the vanilla. Spread the mixture in the baking pan, bake it in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 10 minutes, or until it is just firm to the touch and pulls away slightly from the sides, and let it cool in the pan on a rack.
  • Make the topping:
  • In a heavy saucepan melt the butter, add the brown sugar and the corn syrup, and bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, stirring with a wooden spoon. Boil the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the hard-ball stage (260°F. on a candy thermometer), remove the pan from the heat, and add the cream and the walnuts carefully, stirring gently. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil it until it reaches the soft-ball stage (240°F. on a candy thermometer). Remove the pan from the heat, let the caramel mixture cool for 1 minute, and stir in the rum.
  • Pour the topping over the base, spreading it evenly with the wooden spoon, let it cool, and chill the confection, covered with foil, for 2 hours, or until it is firm. Run a thin knife around the edges of the pan, turn the confection out onto a cutting board, and cut it into bars. The bars keep, separated by sheets of wax paper, in an airtight container, chilled, for 1 week.
