Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

24 graham cracker squares (the whole square) (about 2 packages)
3/4 c packed brown sugar
3/4 c melted butter or margarine
3/4 c chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

Steps:

1. Line a 13 X 9 or close to that size, pan with foil. (I use the non-stick type and it can be reused over and over).
2. Place graham crackers on the foil with entire bottom covered in crackers. If you have any space, just break some crackers and fill it in with the broken pieces.
3. Combine butter, sugar in a saucepan; cook until it's melted about 2 minutes. Add nuts. Remove from stove and set aside.
4. Pour buttery mixture over the crackers and spread to sides. Don't worry if it's thin in spots--when it heats it will spread evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes--my oven bakes fast so I watch it at 8 minutes! It shouldn't be very brown--just golden brown. Remove and cool. (I put mine outside on the deck or you can put it in the fridge to hurry it up) Break into pieces and watch it disappear fast!
