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.

Oh my gosh, I need these today, however I can’t stop snacking on recipes like this, lol! Oh great 🙂
This is my perfect food. YUMMM.
Holy delicious!!
This looks SO good!
OMG!!!!! I can’t even !!!!! {read : hyperventilating}I can only imagine what my house is going to smell like when its baking and just that thought is making my stomach RUMBLE!!!!!! I think I’ll divide that large praline crack from the pan into strictly 4 parts and not share any of it! Pinning! 🙂
Oh boy oh boy! This looks so good! We don’t have graham crackers in Oz, could you tell me, are they more of a salty or sweet cracker?
Jessica,
Graham crackers are a sweet cracker.
I have a friend that makes this with the Keebler ‘Club’ Crackers. They are the same size as Graham Crackers, but salty. Instead of cutting in squares, she follows the perforations in the cracker. They look like little bar shaped cookies. They are marvelous!!
Get out! That looks crazy good and really, really dangerous to start eating! This is definitely not something that I could keep around…it’s something I would take to the break room but then eat it all myself anyways…or giving it to the concierge and then asking for it back…just kidding, (but not really).
Totally crack. I mean, I’ve never done real crack either, but I can see myself hiding in the closet with this. I can also see myself throwing it away, then digging in the garbage for it. Now I’m mad I don’t have some RIGHT NOW!
That DOES look very addicting! Anything with so much sugar and butter and salt has to be good! 🙂
Omg that looks SO GOOD! I have an Xmas Crack recipe and it’s along the same lines but with saltines. I love love the graham cracker idea and yes, I totally understand about re-homing things like this, immediately. You almost have to sometimes, lol. Well I do! pinned
what is the recipe for the saltine crack?
Same just use saltine crackers.
This is way better than the saltines recipe!
In a cookbook called Bachelor in the Kitchen (a little paperback cookbook) I found this recipe, it’s called Butterscotch Grahams, I’ve been making them since the early 90’s. My friend calls them crack, as well. Are you bringing the “crack” she asks. They are insanely good and I also will add the Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips (they are big) and sprinkle them on before baking it and they stay whole and give you that little bite of dark chocolate along with the sweet. They ARE so good, I have the stuff to make them right now.
