This stuff is dangerously delicious. Praline Crack is what I call it because no other name is suitable. It’s a buttery, sugary, crunchy and chewy praline twist on cracker toffee! I had to expel it from my house immediately for fear I would eat the whole pan!
Praline Cracker Toffee Recipe
I’m sorry for the title of this recipe. I do understand crack isn’t a joke. I get it.
And honestly having never done crack, I can’t compare, certainly.
But I will say that if being crouched in the bathroom hiding from the world looking shifty and scared that someone will catch me is something someone on crack might do, then yes..this is crack-like.
Because that happened. With this stupid treat. Hence the name Praline Crack. AND I have the sweats and shakes right now because I don’t have a piece. So there’s that.
The recipe is basic, and a twist on that Christmas Crack or Cracker Toffee everyone loves. But better. Sorry, it is.
So anyway, let’s talk particulars. What you have here is buttery, brown sugary, chewy, crunchy, ridiculously addicting treat.
It’s everything you want it to be.. and more.
AND it’s easy. Basically fool-proof.
How Do You Make Praline Crack?
Just line your graham crackers on an ungreased jelly roll pan.
Then melt some butter and sugar together until it comes to a boil. Let it boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Also, have some chopped pecans on hand..
Then pour that delicious butterscotch sauce over top of the graham crackers.
Spread it evenly all over…
Then sprinkle your chopped pecans all up on there…
See?
And bake it. You need to let it go until it’s bubbly all over, it’ll take 12-ish minutes.
The longer it bakes, the crunchier the sauce will get. You’re essentially making candy here…but don’t let it go too long because it will most definitely burn!
Also, I prefer mine a little softer and less “brittle” than some. My husband prefers it crispier…to each their own.
Then let it cool.
And cut it into pieces. Large pieces, people.
While it might not be the prettiest treat ever, it will absolutely be a favorite.

I have made this recipe three times now. I took it to a YWCA Senior luncheon, and most people went wild over it & had to have the recipe. I will keep this recipe in my binder of favorites. It is easy to make and very quick with a small amount of cleanup. The third time, I let it boil for only about a minute and a half, and it is still cooling so I have not tried it yet. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
