12 Treats of Christmas: #5 Praline-Graham Crackers

Super easy, super yummy—Christmastime or anytime. My mom gave me this recipe—back in June 2007 (not that my memory is so awesome...that's the date of her email). Every time I take these treats to a gathering, they go very quickly!

For a Christmas treat, break apart in a “rustic” fashion (not every piece the same size, some rough edges, etc) like you would with brittle or bark. Then package the pieces in a holiday back and tie with festive ribbon!

PRALINE-GRAHAM CRACKERS

*

1 box regular graham crackers

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine

1 ½ cups brown sugar

2 cups chopped pecans

*

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Line a 15x10x1 inch cookie sheet (regular-sized) with aluminum foil. This isn’t mandatory, but will certainly help with clean up. By the way—your cookie sheet needs a lip (jelly roll, sheet cake pan)—NOT the type of cookie sheet that is completely flat with no “edge.”

3. Place graham crackers in a single layer on cookie sheet—as many as will fit.

4. Boil the butter, sugar and pecans for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

5. Spread on crackers. Bake 10 minutes.

6. Allow to cool, break apart.
