Easy, crunchy, chocolatey, praline deliciousness. Seriously, what's not to love?
Start by laying graham crackers out on a baking sheet, lining the graham crackers up so they're touching.
Next, sprinkle the graham crackers evenly with some chopped pecans and chocolate chips. Make sure some pecans and chocolate chips end up on each and every graham cracker.
Then boil together granulated sugar and butter. Pour the hot mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
This mixture creates the sugary coating of the cracker candy and adheres the pecans and chocolate chips to the graham crackers. Be sure to pour the sugar-butter mixture all over the pan of graham crackers.
Pop the pan in the oven, and bake everything up for 10 minutes.
Then once these beauties are cooled, simply break them up into pieces for a totally delicious, totally addictive treat.
The ease with which Graham Cracker Pralines come together make them a perfect simple little treat to whip up for the holidays -- for cookie trays, cookie exchanges, or especially if you're making treats as gifts from the kitchen for neighbors, co-workers, or as party hostess gifts.
