This peppermint toffee bark with graham crackers is an easy holiday treat! Made with a graham cracker base, a toffee layer and white chocolate with crushed candy canes on top!
I can’t resist toffee for a Christmas treat! Whether it’s this one, homemade toffee, saltine cracker toffee, or Christmas crack, they are all favorites!
Peppermint Toffee Bark
If there’s one thing I love to enjoy during the holidays, it’s toffee. It’s a weakness of mine and something I can never resist. This peppermint toffee bark combines two of my favorites peppermint bark and graham cracker toffee!
This white chocolate peppermint toffee is similar to saltine cracker toffee, but is made with graham crackers and white chocolate with crushed candy canes on top that add the perfect peppermint crunch. If you’re feeling extra festive, you can even dye some of the chocolate red and drizzle it on top. :)
If you’re a peppermint fan, you have to put this recipe and homemade hard candy on your baking list. It’s the perfect homemade Christmas food gift!
Peppermint Cracker Toffee Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- Brown sugar
- Graham crackers
- White chocolate melting wafers
- Candy canes
How to Make Peppermint Bark Toffee
- Line pan with graham crackers. Cover a large half-sheet jelly roll pan with foil, then spray with nonstick spray. Line the pan with graham crackers until completely covered.
- Make the caramel. Melt butter and sugar in a medium pot over low/medium-low heat (continue stirring). Then bring to a boil over medium-heat for about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
- Spread caramel over crackers. When the mixture is bubbly with a golden amber color, remove from heat and pour over crackers. Then spread out evenly with a knife.
- Bake in oven. Place pan in oven and bake at 325°F for 7 to 9 minutes. Then remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Add toppings. Melt the chocolate melting wafers until smooth, then pour over caramel mixture and smooth with a spatula. Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top and then place in freezer for about 15 minutes to harden. Then break pieces off the foil and enjoy!
Great for Gifting

Peppermint Graham Cracker Toffee Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 package graham crackers
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers
- 2 candy canes , crushed
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a large half-sheet jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray and then line the pan with graham crackers.
- Melt butter with sugar. Place 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar in a medium-sized pot over low/medium-low heat. Stir until the butter is melted. Once the butter has melted, bring to a boil over medium heat for 2 1/2 -3 minutes.
- Pour over graham crackers. Once it’s nice and bubbly and changed to more of a caramel color, remove pan from heat and pour evenly over crackers. Spread mixture with a knife, however it doesn’t have to be perfect. Try to move fast during this part so the toffee doesn’t harden.
- Bake. Place pan in the oven and bake for 7-9 minutes.
- Add chocolate and candy canes. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool slightly. Melt 1 cup white chocolate and then pour over the top with a spatula. Sprinkle 2 crushed candy canes on top and then place in the freezer for 15 minutes. If desired, drizzle red chocolate on top. Once chocolate has hardened, break pieces off the foil and place in a container. It will stay fresh for 1 week.

FAQs
To ensure that the peppermint bark toffee does not stick, line the pan with foil or parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray.
No! That is why I love to make this type of candy recipe.
Yes! I love how festive the white chocolate is but you can use milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate or dark chocolate.

Recipe It’s self was easy enough to follow and tasted delicious however every time I make this or Christmas crack my taffy ends up gritty and extra oily I might not boiling it long enough, or possibly that I’m starting during the boiling portion? Any advice was thankful.
Hi Christina! Toffee usually gets gritty when the temperature gets too hot or the sugar from the sides gets in the mixture.
Can you simply use white chocolate chips (ghiradelli) instead of the wafers?
Yes definitely. I just find the wafers melt easier. You can still melt the chocolate chips over a double broiler, or at 50% power in the microwave.
I was craving something peppermint and this hit the spot. I made some to give away for an edible gift and will definitely make it again.
Toffee is one of our faves for the holidays as well! Ideal to have on hand to serve unexpected guests.
My family goes crazy over this stuff. So addicting!
Do you have to use unsalted butter?
Salted butter should work well too! :)
Thanks! I plan on making these this weekend!
What size is a jelly roll pan? Is it a cookie sheet?
Hi Janice! It’s a 14.25 x 9.375 x 1 inch cookie sheet with edges.

I am in love with that gift basket idea! oooo and this toffee looks fantastic! What a perfect gift!
The colors of red and white are so iconically (not sure if that’s a word) associated with Coke that the fact that you came up with a red and white peppermint toffee is brilliant! Kudos to you for creating a very thoughtful post!
