Butter-Pecan Crunch
Source of Recipe
Pasadena Star News/December 15, 2004
1/3 cup (2/3 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
about 9-1/4 whole graham crackers
1 In a medium saucepan, combine butter, salt, vanilla and brown sugar, stirring until butter has melted and sugar is dissolved; don't let mixture boil.
2 Line bottom of an ungreased (line with nonstick foil for easy removal) 9x13-inch pan with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking them to fit. Pour sugar syrup over graham crackers, spreading to cover with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with pecans.
3 Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven 9 minutes, until bubbly. Remove from oven and cut into squares immediately. Lift out of pan as soon as they're cool enough to handle; if you wait too long, they'll stick.
