Salted Caramel Pecan Bars
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 12 – 13 whole graham crackers
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 7-9 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
- Line a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with aluminum foil; lightly grease foil. Arrange graham crackers in a single layer in prepared pan. Combine sugar, butter, and cream in a medium-size heavy saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla and pecans. Pour butter mixture over crackers, spreading to coat.
- Bake at 350° for 10 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly.
- Immediately sprinkle with salt, and slide foil from pan onto a wire rack. Cool completely (about 30 minutes). Break into bars.

Will they stick to the aluminum foil?
No they shouldn’t!
Can these be made ahead and frozen for Xmas?
Unfortunately no! The caramel would not hold up to freezing.
