Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil leaving enough overhang to easily lift from the pan. If using foil, generously butter.
Lay the graham crackers side by side without overlapping.
On the stovetop in a heavy bottomed saucepan or pot, melt together the butter, light brown sugar and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Once melted, bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium. Cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly over medium heat.
Remove the pan from the stove and add the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract and pecan pieces. Stir until combined. (If you're using cinnamon graham crackers omit the ground cinnamon.)
Pour the pecan sugar mixture over the graham crackers spreading evenly until all are covered. Use a tbsp to sprinkle the top with 1/4 cup toffee bits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until bubbly. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining sea salt.
Place onto a wire rack to cool completely, then chill.
Use a sharp knife to cut into desired shapes.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week.

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.
