Servings: persons

vegetable oil spray Nonstick
15 graham crackers
4 cups popped popcorn from 1/4 cup kernels
1 cup salted roasted peanuts coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups Puffed Rice Cereal
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips chopped, about 6 oz.
flaky sea salt for serving

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with nonstick spray. Arrange graham crackers in a single layer on baking sheet, breaking to fit as needed to cover entire surface. Top evenly with popcorn, peanuts, and the puffed rice cereal.
2
Bring butter, sugar, and cayenne pepper (if using) to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Once boiling, stir once, then reduce heat and simmer, swirling occasionally (try not to stir), until mixture is golden brown and syrupy, 8-10 minutes. This process took me 10 minutes.
3
Pour the golden brown, syrupy toffee mixture evenly over graham crackers and popcorn mixture. Bake until toffee is slightly darkened in color (the shade of a brown paper bag) and bubbling, 10-12 minutes. This took me 12 minutes, and I didn't see much bubbling going on, so don't worry if you see it cook to the brown-paper-bag-shade without a lot of bubbling. Remove the pan from oven, top evenly with the chocolate and sprinkle with a big pinch of sea salt. Let cool in baking sheet before breaking into pieces.
