Quick Praline Bars


I made these to give away for Christmas. I kinda put together a couple of recipes and wasn't really sure what I was doing. Came out good though.

One of the recipes I looked at called for 15 sheets of graham crackers. I wasn't sure what that meant so I just used this whole box.
You're supposed to layer the graham cracker on a jelly roll pan, but I don't have a jelly roll pan so I used roasting pans. Sprinkle 3/4 c. chopped pecans on top of the crackers.
Heat 1-3/4 cups packed light brown sugar and 1 cup butter to boilng.
Boil and stir for one minute.
Pour over graham crackers.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. After cooling for a little bit I transferred the pieces to a cookie sheet (it'll stick to the pan if you wait too long).
Melt 1 cup of chocolate and drizzle onto bars.
It turned out really yummy if eaten within a day or two. After that the graham cracker got soggy. CQ said that maybe I needed to totally cover every bit of the cracker instead of leaving some of it exposed. If that's the case then you probably gotta double the recipe per one box of crackers . . . or just eat 'um up fast.

Thanks Rand. It took me awhile to figure out the best way to make my pictures big. I've been told though that people with smaller monitors can't get the whole thing. It cuts off on the right.

Thanks Erick. Actually, I really can't cook.
