"These pecan pralined graham crackers are so tasty; I've been making them for years...The recipe calls for a whole box of grahams, but you may not use them all, just fill the sheet pan, and you're ready to go!"

I can't believe I never rated these before, we love them and even though people might not think of them as Christmas cookies that is when we make these. Nummy, I make exactly as written however I have found it easier to put the nuts in the topping otherwise they seem to wash away when adding the topping. -
these are simple and delicious! my husband couldn't even wait for them to cool! i used all butter as we don't use margarine, and I had more control spooning the melted butter/sugar over the graham crackers, using a large serving spoon.for my lg. jellyroll pan I used 2 of 3 packets of graham crackers(3 packets to a box). these were eaten within a 24 hr. period=so good! -
Wasn't sure how much graham crackers was 14 1/2oz so made 2 cookie sheets worth. I think one it would have been too much of the toppings. I used 3/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup margarine cause that's what I had. I also had to use walnuts instead of pecans. I combined the butter and sugar in the microwave instead of the stove by nuking for 3 mins at 1 min intervals. They turned out great! A bit sweet for my liking but didn't really expect them not to be sweet. DH is taking them to work and I'm sure they'll be inhaled! -
YUM- very good and easy to make. I am snowed in today so have been trying new items, cleaning out my cupboards. I didn't have margarine so used all butter and used 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of splenda. I also used about 3/4 cups of chopped pecans as I didn't want to leave just alittle in the bag. I made two batches. The first batch I cooked for 10 minutes and they got burnt a bit. The next batch I only cooked for seven minutes and they were a lot better. These were really good. -
Made these for http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=320211 and so very glad I finally did. These little gems are easy to make, and ohhh so very good. I almost ate them all myself, but the kids beat me to a few. Thank You Alligirl for posting this wonderful recipe.

Someone special recently gifted me with membership ~ I don't know who, but know they are special :D! Thank you! It is much appreciated....
My parents owned a grocery store when I was growing up, so there's my love of FOOD! My friends all love to drink, so there's my profession! I stopped bartending 5 years ago, when my son was born, but still 'do' private parties. DH and I did a 'Supper Club' for a while, but life kept getting in the way!
I am a SAHM, to a rambunctious 5 y.o....I LOVE cooking and collect cookbooks and anything kitchen related! I'm kinda picky, but will just drop an ingredient or make a sub, so I can still try a recipe.
I'm looking forward to many years of enjoyment here, and hope to participate in some events soon!
Thanks to everyone for posting such great recipes, and if you review mine, just know that I appreciate the time and effort involved in the reviewing process!
