Ingredients

  • 15 graham cracker sheets (rectangles)
  • 1 stick butter salted
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/4 tsp flaky or course sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a jelly roll pan (half sheet pan) with a Silpat baking mat. Or you can line it with parchment paper or wax paper.
  • Arrange 15 graham crackers sheets on the pan in a single layer, you'll have three rows of five. 15 sheets equals 30 squares of crackers.
  • In a small, nonstick saucepan over medium heat, melt together the stick of butter and brown sugar. Gently boil the mixture, without stirring, for 3 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the vanilla, giving it a good stir with a rubber spatula.
  • Evenly pour the brown sugar mixture over the graham crackers. Use an offset spatula to spread it evenly to the edges of the crackers.
  • Evenly sprinkle the chopped pecans over top of the graham crackers. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the praline grahams evenly with the sea salt. Allow them to cool on the pan for about 10 minutes. Then break them apart into 30 squares.
