Ingredients
Instructions
- Line 2 cookie sheets with Keebler cinnamon grahams.
- Combine butter and brown sugar in a saucepan.
- Place over heat and bring to a boil.
- Boil for 3 minutes and stir in chopped walnuts.
- Quickly spread the hot mixture over the crackers with a spoon.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and toasting the walnuts before adding them to the mixture. If you don't have Keebler cinnamon grahams, you can substitute with any cinnamon-flavored graham crackers or even regular graham crackers with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Be careful not to overboil the mixture, as it can become too hard when cooled.
Serving Suggestions
These Butterscotch Grahams make a delightful dessert on their own, but you can also serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a festive touch, consider serving them at gatherings with other sweet treats like Cool Lime Cheesecake or Easy Graham Bars.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you prefer, you can also refrigerate them to extend their freshness, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore the original texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these Butterscotch Grahams ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare them ahead of time. Once baked and cooled, store them in an airtight container. They will keep well for several days, making them great for parties or gatherings. Just remember to let them cool completely before storing to maintain their texture.
Can I use a different type of nut instead of walnuts?
Absolutely! You can substitute walnuts with pecans, almonds, or even peanuts, depending on your preference. Each nut will add its own unique flavor and crunch to the Butterscotch Grahams, so feel free to experiment with what you have on hand.
What can I do if the butterscotch mixture hardens too much?
If the butterscotch mixture hardens, try warming it gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of milk or cream. This can help soften it, making it easier to spread over the grahams. Just be cautious not to heat it too much to avoid burning.
