Paydays are always too far apart so I'm always looking for ideas to treat the family yet stay within the means of the current cupboard inventory. This seemed like a great idea.
Graham Cracker Candy
16 ounces graham crackers - honey grahams, chocolate grahams, cinnamon grahams - your choice!
1 cup butter - margarine will not work.
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped nuts, your choice.
Line the bottom of a vegetable-sprayed jelly roll pan with the graham cracker squares. You should have enough to cover a 10x15 1/2-inch pan with a rim. You can also do it with two, smaller pans.
Melt butter and sugar together until sugar is no longer grainy. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly and continue cooking at a boil for three or four minutes. Pour over the graham crackers and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 10-12 minutes.
Ideas . . .
Sprinkle with chocolate chips when the pan comes from the oven and smooth them out as they melt.
Use white chocolate chips.
Try milk chocolate chips.
Sprinkle melted chocolate with colored cake sprinkles or tiny candies.
Remove candy from pan before it thoroughly cools and put it on a foil covered cooling rack to finish. Break or cut into pieces.
