Enable step-by-step mode

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Arrange crackers in a single layer, breaking pieces as needed.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in coconut sugar and half of the chopped pecans. Bring to a boil and cook 4–5 minutes, until bubbly and foamy.
Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture over the crackers and smooth evenly.
Bake for 7 minutes, until bubbling.
Remove from oven and scatter chocolate over the hot toffee. Let sit 2–3 minutes, then gently spread once melted.
Sprinkle remaining pecans on top. Let cool 10 minutes, then add toffee bits and flaky sea salt.
Refrigerate until firm. Slice into bars and serve.

Notes

Graham crackers create a sweeter base, while saltines add more salt contrast.
Coconut sugar adds a deeper caramel flavor, but brown sugar works interchangeably.
Make sure the butter-sugar mixture fully boils so the toffee sets properly.
Add toffee bits after the bars cool slightly to prevent melting.
Sea salt is optional but highly recommended for balance.
