Easy Sea Salted Cinnamon Graham Cracker Pralines Recipe

These easy graham cracker cookies are another one of those beloved old school treats that usually make their appearance during the holiday season. Bakers of all skill levels can make this, there are no dry ingredients to sift, flour to measure or cookie dough to make, since the graham crackers form the easy crust.

Being a fan of all things caramel, I tend to stick to that flavor profile when making these cookies. However, I have known some cooks to add chocolate or sprinkle with chocolate chips after baking. Serve these as a handheld dessert on game day, along with your Christmas cookies, with ice cream, dessert dips, or as an embellishment for cakes and cheesecake.

Recipe Variations, Tips and Substitutions

Graham Crackers – You can use classic graham crackers, honey grahams or cinnamon graham crackers for this recipe. If you’re using cinnamon graham crackers, omit the ground cinnamon.
Nuts – It’s no secret we love our pecans in the South, so that’s my personal preference for these graham cracker pralines. Almonds, walnuts, cashews or macadamia nuts would be great substitutes for pecans.
Types of Sugar – You could swap sugar using dark brown sugar for a stronger molasses flavor.
Chocolate Chips – You can sprinkle the top with mini chocolate chips immediately after baking.
Let Cool Completely – Chill these graham cracker pralines until they’re fully set before separating the graham crackers into pieces. Once cooled, remove from the pan to a chopping board. Use a sharp knife to cut into the shapes you like either rectangles or triangles for serving.
Toffee Bits – The toffee bits used for this recipe aren’t chocolate coated. They’re typically found with the baking chips and are sometimes called English toffee bits or bits-o-brickle. You can use the chocolate covered Heath bits, if preferred.
