Easy Butterscotch Toffee Brittle

This Easy Butterscotch Toffee Brittle has all of the delicious elements we love from classic brittle but without all of the hard work!
Servings 12 to 18 servings
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 13 minutes
Total Time 28 minutes

Ingredients

  • about 18 full-sized graham crackers
  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 11-ounce package butterscotch morsels
  • 1/3 cup toffee bits
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped roasted almonds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 13x18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the graham crackers onto the baking sheet in a single layer, breaking off any to fit the ends on all sides. You want to cover the entire pan essentially, but in a single layer. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and sugar and set over moderate heat. Cook until melted through and the mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook for 3 minutes while stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt. Immediately pour the mixture over the graham crackers and spread out with an offset spatula. You want to make sure all of the graham cracker pieces are fully covered.
  • Bake until the caramel layer is somewhat bubbly, about 13 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the top with the butterscotch chips in an even layer. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. This will give the morsels a chance to melt and then you can spread it out into an even layer with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with the toffee pieces and almonds and place in the fridge until set. Once firm, break into small pieces. Serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge (I personally prefer it cold.) Enjoy!
