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.

Shelly – You seriously made me laugh out loud when you called it praline crack!!! ;). My dogs came running into the room to see if I was ok!! 🙂 But seriously thinking of making this this Christmas!!!! Many blessings to you & yours! <3
Sweet lawd in heaven! Can’t wait to make these for myself!,…I mean, my family! Although, I have a hard time believing they would last 3 days in AMY kind of container! Thanks for sharing your recioe!
Made these this morning for goodie bags to give Thanksgiving guests… WOW! Perfection! My 7 year old is loving his duty as taste tester. I did add one thing… I made a candied bacon crumble & spread them on top with the nuts.
OH MY WORDDD..Candied bacon on top??! PERFECT!!
I made this recipe last night and you’re right about the addicting part. It is definitely a keeper recipe. It was so good, I had to blog about it…..(marshasayer.blogspot.com). Thanks for a terrific recipe and I’m glad I came across it. Just in time for Holiday baking for friends and neighbors.
Help! These looked amazing. My house smelled amazing, but now mine won’t come out of the pan. Just a big pan of gooeyness. Help!? What did I do wrong? Recipe says “ungreased pan”. Should I have greased my jelly roll pan?
That’s strange! I never grease my pan when I use these. Are they still gooey? They should be firm so you can break them into pieces, let them cool a bit and then try!
put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes tops – they’ll come right out.
Shelly – I did it!
this stuff is so delicious. Thank you very much. I tried it with a small portion and will make a bigger batch with brown sugar. Oh their’e so good and “healthy”.

Oh my Gosh, maybe it has the same influence to me than Crack. Eventually I cant let my fingers away. Never tried some of this other stuff – but will definitely try your Recipe. Thank you very much.
If you really want to be adventurous swap the pecans with bacon. I make it exactly the same way but fry some bacon up crisp and crumble it over the graham crackers and then pour the sugar mixture. Never had a person not come back for seconds.
I made this last night and it is already gone!!! It was soooooooooo amazingly good! I will be making this recipe regularly now! Thank you!!!!!
I love this treat, but I make mine with a cracker bread called Finncrisp. Less sweet than graham crackers. On a note about crack; in Ireland and parts of Northern England ‘crack’ is a word used to describe good conversation and friendly banter. It is a corruption of the old Gaelic word ‘craic’. So there are associations other than the illegal ones.
