Ingredients

• 12 sheets graham crackers
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Arrange the graham cracker sheets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, breaking them as needed to fit the edges.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and salt, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to bubble and is fully combined (about 3–4 minutes).

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the graham crackers, using a spatula to spread it if necessary to cover all crackers fully.

Step 6

If using chopped pecans, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the caramel-coated graham crackers.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbling and slightly darkened in color.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. The caramel hardens as it cools.

Step 9

Once cooled, break the graham crackers into pieces or leave them whole, depending on your preference.

Step 10

Store your Graham Cracker Crunch in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
