Go ahead, give your fave classic candies a marvelous makeover. Your monster mash just got way tastier.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Spread honey graham crackers until pan is full to all sides. Combine brown sugar and butter in saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a rolling boil and remove from heat. Pour over layer of graham crackers and spread until evenly coated. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and pour chocolate chips over whole pan. As chocolate melts, use the back of a spoon to spread chocolate to all sides. Sprinkle with M&M’s. Allow toffee to cool for 1 to 2 hours or until firm. Break into bite-size pieces.
