Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • 12 whole graham crackers

  • 1 cup margarine (such as Parkay)

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Break each graham cracker into 4 equal pieces, creating 48 total; arrange closely together on a baking sheet.

  3. Melt margarine in a heavy sauepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar; cook and stir until boiling and frothy, then boil 2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Off heat, fold in pecans; pour over graham crackers, spreading evenly.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until caramel mixture has baked into graham crackers, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately transfer bars from baking sheet to a sheet of aluminum foil.

Cook's Note:

It is very important that the crackers are placed very tightly together so they do not move around when the mixture is poured over them. It may be necessary to put extra graham crackers around the edges to prevent them from sliding.
