graham fun

3.11.2010

this is such a simple sweet treat i am almost embarassed to post it.
but this family loves when they are prepared, so i want to share with you.


you start with about a dozen of these.


a sweet treat must always have butter and brown sugar...

and never forget semi sweet and white chocolate chips...


with the finishing touch being toasted pecans...yum!



and ta=dah! simple, sweet graham breakaways...!



graham breakaways::
12 honey grahams, broken in half (24 squares)
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (i also added some white)
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
oven: 350
arrange graham squares in single layer in 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
place butter and sugar in medium saucepan. bring to boil on medium heat; cook 2 min. pour over grahams; immediately spread to completely cover grahams.
bake 6-8 minutes, or until sugar mixture is lightly browned and bubbly. sprinkle with chocolate chunks. bake an additional 1-2 min or until chocolate is melted. remove from oven; immediately spread chocolate over grahams. sprinkle with pecans; press lightly into chocolate with back of spoon. cool completely before breaking into squares to serve.
variations:
not a pecan fan? try topping with peanuts or crushed butterfingers...or come up with any combination. be sure to let me know what you tried.

have a fabulous thursday!
