Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate the graham crackers into 4 sections.
- Arrange the crackers on a cookie pan with sides touching.
- In a saucepan, bring butter, sugar, and chopped pecans to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour the hot mixture over the arranged graham crackers and spread evenly.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, carefully lift the crackers from the pan, and cool on waxed paper.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you want a nut-free version, you can substitute the pecans with sunflower seeds. Make sure to keep stirring the mixture to prevent burning, and pour it over the crackers while it's still hot for the best results. This recipe is a quick take on classic American recipes that can easily impress guests.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these praline grahams as a delightful dessert or snack on their own. They pair beautifully with coffee or tea. For a fun twist, try serving them alongside a scoop of ice cream or alongside a slice of Praline Peach Cobbler for a decadent dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover praline grahams in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To maintain their crispness, avoid refrigerating them. If you want to revive their texture, simply warm them in the oven at a low temperature for a few minutes before serving.
