Ingredients

Base

  • 12 whole graham crackers (plus more as needed)

Praline Mixture

  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Topping

  • 1 cup toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Arrange Graham Crackers: Lay the graham crackers in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared baking sheet. Break some crackers into smaller pieces as needed to fill any gaps or corners for an even base.
  3. Make Praline Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the salted butter and dark brown sugar together. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and combined. Bring it to a boil, maintaining constant stirring, and let it boil for 1 minute to thicken slightly.
  4. Add Pecans: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the chopped pecans to coat them evenly in the praline mixture.
  5. Pour Praline over Crackers: Pour the hot praline and pecan mixture evenly over the arranged graham crackers on the baking sheet. It won’t cover the crackers fully at this stage, which is normal.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbling and set.
  7. Add Toffee Bits: Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the toffee bits evenly over the top. Using a rubber spatula, gently press the toffee bits into the warm praline mixture to adhere. Avoid using your hands as the mixture is very hot.
  8. Cool and Set: Let the pralines rest in the pan at room temperature until fully cooled and hardened. For best results, allow them to rest overnight before breaking or cutting into pieces. This step ensures clean breaks and perfect texture.
  9. Store Properly: Store the pralines in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can break graham crackers into smaller pieces to fit the baking sheet and ensure even coverage.
  • Be cautious when handling the hot praline mixture and toffee bits to avoid burns.
  • Allowing pralines to rest overnight improves texture and makes them easier to cut or break.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
  • Freezing extends shelf life without compromising taste.
