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.

made these last nite…i die! it’s gonna be a new staple in our house. 🙂
Great recipe! Pretty simple but yummy!
Love these! This recipe is an old family tradition in our house! Except we add broken up Hershey bars when they come out of the oven. Chocolate makes everything better right?
I have seen recipes doing the crackers covered in something, and NORMALLY it does nothing for me. But this one? There is something about it that is just taunting me, shouting out for me to go hide in a closet with the lights out so I can be alone and just pig out!
Would sprinkling on mini chocolate chips with the pecans be to much?
No!
No it’s unbelievable!
Sometimes we put m&m’s, toasted coconut, and my son like crushed peppermint on his at Christmas. We have been making these since 1970 when the recipe first came out. This recipe is Awesome by itself, but dont be scared to dress it up!!
I need this in my life! Looks amazing!
I made these for Christmas last year to give away. I probably shouldn’t admit I got a little stingy when I was putting containers together…1 for you, 1 for me, 1 for you, 2 for me, et cetera, et cetera until I needed larger pants.
Okay, so…I totally had this on my list to make this week. How do we do that?? HOWWWWW?? It looks fabulous. Seriously.
Pinning & trying! Wow that looks good!
We make something similar called Brickle… Instead of the graham crackers, I use saltines, and then I add a layer of chocolate over the top. SO YUM!
I’ve made the one with saltines & chocolate but this recipe is so much better!
