Graham Cracker Pralines, or Praline Crack would make a great treat to give for Valentine’s Day or Christmas. It’s great for parties and pot lucks. The last time I made this recipe for our school’s pot luck, I had several teachers asking for the recipe!

what do i need to make graham cracker pralines?

• 16 sheets of graham crackers from one of box graham crackers (I prefer regular, not low fat)
• 2 sticks butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• jelly roll pan that’s 18×13

how do i make graham cracker pralines?

• Line a jelly roll pan with graham crackers.
• Melt the butter and brown sugar together.
• Let it boil for 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Add salt and vanilla then pour over graham crackers.
• Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
• Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.

Let the graham cracker pralines cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes. At this point I like to sprinkle on mini chocolate chips. You could experiment with the various candy coated chocolates to coordinate with whatever holiday you are celebrating. Just be sure you do this when the caramel is still tacky, but not hot enough to melt the chocolate.

When the pralines have cooled a bit more, cut them into your desire shape and let cool completely on wire racks. I like to store mine in the refrigerator, but you can leave them out at room temperature in a tightly fitting container as well.

• 16 graham cracker rectangles
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½  teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350.
2. On a large, ungreased  cookie sheet (jelly roll size, which is about 18×13) arrange the graham crackers, breaking if necessary. Set aside. If you are afraid that your graham crackers will stick to the pan, line it with parchment paper first.

4. Remove from heat and add the vanilla and salt.
5. Pour mixture over graham crackers, spreading it evenly to the edges.
6. Sprinkle the crushed pecans evenly over the graham crackers.
7. Bake for 12 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly; about 10-15 minutes. If you’re adding chocolate chips or candy coated chocolates, add them while the pralines are still tacky but not so warm that they melt.
9. Cut into squares and cool completely on wire racks.
