Thanksgiving Recipe #3 - Easy as 1,2,3 (okay, maybe 4!)

 

Praline Grahams

 

In addition to turkey, dressing and mashed potatoes, 

the holiday mail usually delivers at least one invitation 

to an event requiring a dessert item.  

Years ago Maggie came across this simple recipe in 

Southern Living (courtesy of Mrs. D Blackston of Tennessee). 

She loves it for three reasons, 

it requires only 4 ingredients, is quick to put together 

and it is scrumptious!

Preheat oven to 300 degrees

1.  Graham Crackers - package (1/3 of a 16 oz. box)

2.  Butter - 3/4 cup

3.  Sugar - 1/2

4.  Pecans - 1 cup - chopped

• Separate each graham cracker into 4 sections and arrange in a jellyroll pan with sides touching
• Melt butter in a saucepan; stir in sugar and chopped pecans
• Bring to a boil; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently
• Spread mixture evenly over graham crackers.
• Bake at 300 degrees for 12 minutes, just enough time to clean up the kitchen!
• Remove from pan, let cool on wax paper.

Yield: 3 1/2 dozen cookies

That's it!  And with all the time you saved in the kitchen, why not pour a glass of cold milk and settle in for a taste test!
