How to Make Pecan Brittle

This is an easy recipe for Pecan Brittle that uses graham crackers for a special touch!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 stick margarine
• 1 stick real butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup pecans
• graham crackers

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Next, mix the margarine, butter, and sugar together in a sauce pan. Boil the mixture of margarine, butter, and sugar for three minutes. Do not start timing the boil until the mixture comes to a full boil. Also, do not boil the mixture of margarine, butter, and sugar too long because it will scorch and the pecan brittle will have a burned flavor.

2. Spray a cookie sheet with Pam or another nonstick spray. Place one layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a cookie sheet. Pour the mixture of margarine, butter, and sugar over the graham crackers. Then, evenly sprinkle the pecans over the mixture.

3. Bake the mixture on the cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow the pecan brittle to cool and then break apart into pieces to serve.
