Sweet and crunchy glazed graham crackers topped with brown sugar and pecans, perfect for sharing at gatherings or as a delightful snack with a rich, nutty flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place graham crackers on a cookie sheet.
- Melt oleo, brown sugar, and chopped pecans together.
- Pour or spoon the melted mixture over the graham crackers.
- Bake about 12 minutes at 300° or 325°.
- Cool slightly; break apart into squares or bars.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted mixture. If you don't have oleo, unsalted butter makes a great substitute. For a nut-free alternative, you can omit the pecans or replace them with sunflower seeds. Ensure the graham crackers are evenly covered for the best texture after baking.
Serving Suggestions
These glazed grahams make a delightful snack on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a fun twist, serve them alongside a hot drink like coffee or cocoa. They also complement well with salty snacks for a balanced treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to a month. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 300°F for about 5 minutes to restore their crispiness before serving.
