Ingredients

• 12 whole sheets graham crackers
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or almonds)
• 0.5 cups chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure easy cleanup.

Step 2

Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Break them into smaller pieces as needed to fit without overlapping.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and looks glossy.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Be careful as the mixture may bubble up slightly.

Step 6

Pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the graham crackers, spreading it with a spatula to cover them completely.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the caramel layer. Press them lightly into the caramel to adhere.

Step 8

Bake the graham crackers in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbling.

Step 9

Optional: Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to melt, then spread evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Allow the graham brittle to cool completely in the pan. Once hardened, break into pieces and enjoy!

Step 11

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
