Excellent and addictive. Used club crackers, all butter, coconut sugar, and vanilla. Taste is like toffee. Taken it to my family and church family.

It was so easy and delicious. I didn’t have enough graham crackers to cover my baking sheet (which I lined with parchment paper) so I put Club crackers on the rest of the pan. I just used butter (no margarine) and added a little vanilla before spooning it onto my pecan-covered crackers. I received lots of compliments and rave reviews.

I made exactly as the recipe except I used all butter because we don’t keep margarine in the house. I used a large cookie sheet and covered with parchment paper. Used about 1 1/2 sleeves of crackers just as the recipe states. I have made these on numerous occasions and always get asked for the recipe. It’s pecan pie without all the fuss, what could be better
Frank Morales
I doubled the sugar, and went with 4 sticks of butter, deleting the margarine. Tastes great!
Desiree Ortiz
I used cinnamon grahams (all I had in the pantry) & brown sugar instead of white. Also added the pecans over the top. These are absolutely addictive – my grandson loved them. Next time I will try regular graham crackers. This is a real crowd pleaser, very easy to prepare & definitely a keeper!!
Michael Conner
YUMMY!! Really easy to do.

I did try this and it came out great, took a little get together last night, almost all was eaten, I let the hostess keep the left, I am going to make more, I have the Nu-Wave cooking system, you control the heat and all, nothing burns on that thing, this is the easiest recipe for quick treats!! Loved it, sorry no pics

I’ve made this recipe twice (at least tried to) and both times it has become a sugary mess
Brian Clark
These turned out fabulous. My husband asked if they were hard to make and I replied no so he said would you make more soon? I put the graham crackers on the cookie sheet with parchment paper and they were so easy to remove when they cooled. Great

I didn’t have pecans so I used about a cup of roasted peanuts that I put thru the blender to make a rough chop. I also used organic coconut palm sugar (which tastes like a very light brown sugar) and they were great! Even better a day later. These are more like a candy and everyone loved them! Will make again with pecans but I think the family will prefer them with peanuts. I think I’ll go have another one right now!

I have made these countless times, and countless ways and they’re always a hit. I’ve made a batch with coconut, added chocolate to another, and have also used them with ice cream. Once on the bottom of a bowl with vanilla ice cream on top sprinkled with more pecans, and another time I made ice cream sandwiches with them. At Christmas I dip one half in white choclate and let the chocolate harden , and dip the other half in milk or dark chocolate. Put in a tin with a bow, and your present will become the most requested!!! The best part is everyone will think you spent hours making them!!! 🙂

I love this sweet treat! I’ve made it many times and always share with friends. It’s quick and easy. I didn’t change a thing, but you could makes different changes to make this recipe into many different versions!
Donna Roberts
Very good recipe. Love the taste. Should have read reviews before making. Would have been easier getting them out of pan if I had used foil. Maybe taking them out before cooling completely would help too.
Keith Lin Jr.
I did try and I was not sure if all the glaze was for the one layer of grahams. I made the mistake of putting foil down and not a good idea for clean up as I could not get off foil and most broke. so do not use foil. Very good would make again but very greasy from the butter. Would make again. family loved them.

First let me say that the crackers are incredibly delicious and decadent. However, I wish I would have sprayed the cookie sheet with spray olive oil. They really stuck to pan – or I didn’t take them off the pan soon enough and they cooled to the pan. I added a dash of cinnamon. Good, Good, Good and a little of the butter toffee topping for a bowl of ice cream!
David Garner
These are good! I would cut back on the butter and margarine next time. They are a little greasy after they cool.
Katie Chen
Highly addictive! It taste like a softer version of almond roca kind of. I used a mix of pecan and walnuts (didn’t measure), 9×13 pan using almost a whole sleeve of graham crackers, 3/4 cup of all butter, brown sugar, and a dash of vanilla.
Patricia Torres
Used cinnamon graham crackers. Didn’t let sauce boil 3 minutes — just brought to a boil and then spread on crackers. We couldn’t wait ’til they cooled all the way though…yummy warm. Nice afterschool treat.
Jenna Brown
These were incredibly simple to make. Big hit with the guests with plenty leftover. I froze the leftovers and guess what… these taste even better frozen! DIdn’t change anything in the recipe.
Chase Schneider
Well I have been wanting to make these forever and finally got around to it. They turned out really yummy…kinda like pecan pie only so much easier. I’m not sure why the recipe calls for margarine and butter. I used all butter and they turned out fine. Also, not sure why the stove top mixture has to boil for three minutes. I was afraid it would taste burnt so as soon as it was nice and thick I spooned it over the crackers. Overall really good
Teresa Patton
I used the suggestion of club crackers and used pecan chips instead of chopped. I also added coconut to half a batch. A quick, easy, and delicious treat! I’ve already passed on the recipe to 2 coworkers who absolutely loved these! I will be making them again.
