Salted Toffee-Chocolate Squares - Martha Stewart

I needed a quick dessert to take to an impromtu family party and this fit my time-squeezed schedule well.

It's one of those easy desserts that starts with graham cracker squares on the bottom, much like those much loved Magic Bars from the 80's.  This starts with layering graham crackers on a baking sheet, topping with toffee bits, chopped almonds and melted butter.  A quick trip in the oven for 10 minutes or so, then add chopped chocolate and a little salt and voila, done! 

And the best part?  Everyone loved them and oohed and aahed over them.    Thanks Martha~

14 graham crackers

1 bag (8 ounces) toffee bits

1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped toasted natural almonds

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

3/4 cup (4 ounces) bittersweet chocolate, chopped, or chocolate chips

3/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place graham crackers in a single layer on sheet, edges touching. Sprinkle toffee bits and almonds over graham crackers.
2. In a small saucepan, bring sugar and butter to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat and cook at a rapid simmer, swirling pan occasionally, until mixture is syrupy, 2 minutes. Immediately pour over graham crackers. Bake until sugar topping is bubbling, 12 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate and salt over graham crackers. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into 2-inch squares. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack. (Store in an airtight container, up to 1 week.
