Ingredients
Instructions
- Fill an 11 x 15-inch jelly roll pan with graham crackers.
- In a saucepan, boil 1 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar for a few minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup ground nuts to the butter and sugar mixture.
- Pour the hot mixture over the graham crackers and spread evenly.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Cut into pieces while warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using salted butter instead of unsalted. If you're looking for a nut-free option, you can substitute the ground nuts with crushed pretzels or graham cracker crumbs. Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens can vary; you want the mixture bubbly and slightly golden. For extra sweetness, drizzle melted chocolate on top once cooled, similar to Walt And Roberta'S Favorite Seven Layer Cookies Or Hello Dollys.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these frosted graham crackers as a delightful dessert or a sweet snack with coffee or tea. They pair wonderfully with fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. You can also crumble them over yogurt for a quick breakfast option, reminiscent of Kathy'S Breakfast Casserole. For a festive touch, add sprinkles on top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover frosted graham crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer a chewier texture, you can refrigerate them, but be aware that they may lose some crispness. Reheat in a microwave for 10-15 seconds if you want them warm and slightly gooey before serving.
