Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 12 minutes mins
Total Time 27 minutes mins
- 18-20 whole graham crackers (about 2 sleeves), store bought or home made
- 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar packed
- 1 ½ cups butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups pecans, roughly chopped
Preheat oven to 350ºF (180°C). Line a sheet pan (13×18) with foil allowing the foil to overhang pan by a few inches on the long sides.
Place graham crackers in single layer on prepared pan. Cover the entire pan. You will have to cut a few of the crackers to fit.
Melt butter in a medium-size saucepan. Add brown sugar and whisk mixture together over medium heat. Stir continuously until sugar is fully incorporated. At first the butter and sugar will seem to separate. Just keep whisking till smooth.
Bring mixture to a rolling boil, add pecans and continue cooking, stirring frequently for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt. Be careful as mixture will bubble furiously when you add the vanilla.
Working quickly, pour mixture over graham crackers and spread to cover with a knife.
Bake for 12 minutes. The entire surface should be bubbly. If not, bake it for bit longer. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Using foil, transfer bars to a large cutting board and cut into squares. Allow to cool completely before serving. Cover and store at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
