Ingredients
- 12 sheets graham crackers
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or almonds)
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Lay the graham cracker sheets flat on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a grid so they touch but do not overlap.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and stir in the brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring frequently, then let it boil for 2 minutes without stirring.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract until combined. If using, stir in the chopped nuts for added texture.
Step 5
Carefully pour the hot caramel mixture over the graham crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover each cracker completely.
Step 6
Sprinkle the sea salt over the top, if desired, for a sweet and salty twist.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the caramel topping is bubbly and golden.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the graham crackers cool completely (about 30 minutes). The caramel will harden as it cools.
Step 9
Break the graham crackers into smaller pieces and serve or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
