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.

Do you use salter or unsalted butter?
I like to use salted 🙂
This stuck to my pans so bad I had to throw away
I recommend lining your pan with foil and spraying the foil with cooking spray. It makes cleanup a lot easier.
None of the pecans stuck and it broke into a million pieces. What did i do wrong??
that’s crazy, did you pour your hot syrup on the graham crackers first then sprinkle the nuts next then pop it in the oven? it can get tricky sometimes. love this recipe.
★★★★
I mix the pecans in with the butter and brown sugar before I pour it on top. Then they are all coated and sticky.
I have made this several times. Most recently I used rum extract instead of vanilla and sprinkled coconut on top with the nuts before baking. A different twist, and it was just as yummy!
Oh that sounds really good!!
These will definitely be made at my house. Can these be frozen?
I’ve frozen these for about a month with no issues; they got eaten up so I couldn’t rest if they’d last longer than that!
★★★★★
Do you know if these would be good if they were frozen after making?
I don’t think these would work great to freeze, They would get a bit sticky 🙂
This looks wonderfully delicious………..

My husband’s Mom made these every Christmas, so I thought I’d try them now that she’s passed….I was never a lover of the Saltines, so looked on Pinterest for Praline crack with graham crackers to see if that was a recipe – was going to try it anyway…but readying through these comments, I’ve seen people say they miss the saltiness of the Saltine….I’m going to sprinkle sea salt on top with the pecans….sounds yummy…Thanks
★★★★★
I just made this recipe and used half a baking sheet of graham crackers and half the baking sheet of saltin crackers. Bother turned out amazing. I like the thickness of the graham crackers better but the saltins add a bit of the salty which helps.
★★★★
This was SO good! I could have eaten the whole pan myself, and it was SO easy! I will be making these over and over again!
★★★★★
I lined my pan with parchment paper. Used unsalted butter as you are adding salt to the mixture. Used pecan chips which got a little lost in the final result. I’d use bigger Pecan pieces next time. I cooked mine for 12 minutes but I think I’d like them a bit crunchier so will go with the 14 minute recommendation next time. Sweet, buttery and very easy to make!
★★★★
Thanks for this awesome recipe Shelly but just for clarification, do you advise using salted or unsalted butter?
I always use salted, for the sweet/salty combo. But it’s absolutely a personal preference 🙂
Just made these. Goodness gracious!! Love your blog. Your Salted Caramel Butter Bars are also a big hit around here.
SO glad you liked them!!
Possible to substitute graham crackers with saltines??
Yes!!
