German Chocolate Cracker Candy Ingredients

It takes just 6 ingredients to whip up a pan of German Chocolate Cracker Candy deliciousness.  For a batch, you'll need:

• Chocolate graham crackers - Serve as the base of this cracker candy version.

• Brown sugar - Along with butter, creates cracker candy signature sugary syrup.

• Butter - Use unsalted butter to boil together with the recipe's brown sugar.

• Milk chocolate chips - These milder chocolate chips are perfect to help recreate classic German chocolate flavor in cracker candy form.  You could substitute regular semi-sweet chocolate chips, if you prefer.

• Coconut - A signature ingredient in the German chocolate flavor combination.

• Pecans - Chopped pecans bring nice crunch and finish out the classic German chocolate ingredient combo.

How to Make German Chocolate Cracker Candy

Whipping up a batch of these chocolate beauties is easy! Start by lining a rimmed baking pan with sheets of chocolate graham crackers.  Get the graham crackers all nice and snug in there with their edges touching.

Then put some butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan, and heat it up until it's all nice and melty and smooth.

Pour the brown sugar-butter mixture all over the graham crackers. Then pop them in the oven to bake for just a few minutes.  

Sprinkle the sugar-topped graham crackers with milk chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans -- all the classic flavors of German Chocolate Cake -- and then pop the pan back in the oven for a couple more minutes to get everything nicely melded together.

Allow everything to cool completely, and then break the graham crackers into pieces.  

And there you have it -- German Chocolate Cracker Candy just waiting to be enjoyed!
