There's a reason that brickle is also called 'crack'—this stuff is crazy addictive. Graham crackers are baked with a quick homemade caramel then given a layer of melted dark chocolate scattered with cranberries and walnuts. A sprinkle of fleur de sel takes it over the top.
Note: Brickle makes a great holiday gift, just be sure to keep it cool so that the chocolate doesn't melt. I keep mine stored between layers of wax paper.

Ingredients
- About 16 graham crackers
- 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, diced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 cups (10 ounces) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel, such as Maldon
Directions
-
1.
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Cover baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper to fit, then cover the parchment paper with graham crackers.
-
2.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Stir occasionally until butter is melted, letting come to a boil. Let it boil until thickened, three minutes, stirring constantly. Immediately pour caramel mixture over graham crackers to coat.
-
3.
Place crackers in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and top bubbling caramel with chocolate chips. Let stand 5 minutes, then use an offset spatula to smooth melted chips evenly across brickle. Scatter cranberries, walnuts, and fleur de self evenly across surface. Let stand until completely cooled and set, about 2 hours. (If desired, place in the refrigerator to speed up cooling.)

4.
Store brickle between layers of wax paper in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, or in the fridge.
