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 use town house crackers. Drizzle melted chocolate when done and then sprinkle with a little course sea salt. Something about sweet & salty that everyone loves
What are graham crackers ? We don’t have them here in Australia , what else could be used to replace them with please
If you use Saltine Crackers in place of the Graham Crackers that will work great!
Could I freeze these?
They could, but they might be a little sticky as they thaw!
Made these for a church bake sale, when I took it out of the oven I sprinkled mini chocolate chips then gently swirled.Oh and I used honey graham crackers for the base…every one asks for more!!
WHat a great idea!!
Would I be able to add almonds instead of pecans, my hubby isn’t too fond of pecans!
absolutely!!
I make this with club crackers because I like a little salty with the sweet, I may have to give this a try thanks for sharing
Can you freeze it? I’d love to make them for out of town relatives and 3 days would make it tight for shipping.
They might get a little sticky when they thawed out ..
I am making these for our camping trip this weekend, however, my son is allergic to all nuts, has anyone tried using toffee bits on top instead? I was gonna try those.
Try crushed up pretzels!! So good!!
Truly got a giggle from the introduction but I understand the Crack reference, I bought some Crack at a bake sale and have been hunting for the “graham cracker” recipe. So glad I found it…although the note about being able to store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days isn’t necessary cause it will all get eaten in the first 24 hours!
How do I get them out of the pan? It’s one giant hard thing glued to the pan. I tried cutting one out of the middle, but it was like chiseling out little tiny broken bits.
