Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Butter
Melts with the sugar to form the toffee layer that sets as it cools.
Brown sugar
Melts into the butter to create the toffee flavor and a chewy, firm texture.
Graham crackers
Form the crisp, sturdy base that holds the toffee topping.
Slivered almonds
Add toasty crunch that contrasts with the soft toffee layer.

The step that matters

Stir over low heat until butter and sugar are melted together. Gentle heat melts the butter and dissolves the sugar evenly without scorching. Overheating can burn the sugar or separate the butter, leaving a grainy or greasy toffee.
