If your holiday season is going anything like mine, you are constantly on the run and the thought of one more thing to do just makes you want to cringe. I needed to make some treats and knew that one of the people that would be eating them was allergic to chocolate. I had heard from a friend of mine about Praline Pecan bars, but had never made them myself. However, when I researched the recipe I could not believe how easy it was to make! Plus, with my LOVE of pecan pie, I knew that this would probably be something that I liked. Boy was I right! Even my hubby has given them the two thumbs up and I actually have had to hide them to keep him from eating them all. However, I will warn you these are laden with calories and sugar, but sometimes that is just what the doctor has ordered.
Adapted from allrecipes.com recipe
24 graham cracker squares
1 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 t. cream of tarter
1 t. vanilla
4 oz. chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Combine sugar, butter, cream of tarter, and vanilla in pan and cook until sugar has dissolved. (Do not let this come to a boil.) Once sugar has dissolved, add pecans and let the mixture cool for ten minutes.
While mixture cools, place graham crackers together on jelly roll pan. Once the ten minutes are up, carefully pour and spread the mixture over the graham crackers. Bake for ten minutes. Let cool for a couple of minutes and then remove from pan.
See . . . easy right? This definitely will be a part of our yearly Christmas baking!
