Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve brown sugar in butter and add pecans, coconut, and cornflakes.

- Line a cookie sheet with single graham crackers.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of the mixture on each graham cracker.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and toasting the pecans beforehand. If you want to add a bit of chocolate, mini chocolate chips can be sprinkled on top before baking. You can also substitute the pecans with walnuts or almonds if desired. Ensure that the corn flakes are crushed slightly for easier spreading on the graham crackers.
Serving Suggestions
These Graham Cracker Treats are delightful on their own, but they pair beautifully with a scoop of ice cream for a fun dessert. Consider serving them alongside a warm cup of Coffee Liqueur Velvet Frosty for a delicious contrast. They also make a great addition to a dessert platter at gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer them crispy, avoid refrigeration. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes to regain some crunchiness before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these treats ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the mixture and spread it on the graham crackers, then freeze them before baking. When you're ready to serve, simply bake them straight from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
What can I substitute for corn flakes?
If you want a gluten-free option, you can substitute corn flakes with gluten-free cereal or crushed rice cakes. For a different texture, try using crushed pretzels for a sweet and salty twist.
How can I make these treats more chocolatey?
To enhance the chocolate flavor, you can add mini chocolate chips to the mixture before spreading it on the graham crackers. Alternatively, drizzle melted chocolate over the top after baking for an indulgent finish.
