How to Make Graham Cracker Brittle

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Evenly spread the crushed graham crackers in a single layer over the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, and salt (if using).
  4. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, without stirring, and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-ball stage). This will take about 5-7 minutes. Watch carefully, as it can burn quickly!
  6. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the chopped nuts.
  7. Quickly pour the hot mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer on the baking sheet. Spread it with a spatula to ensure even coverage.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the brittle is golden brown and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The brittle will harden as it cools.
  10. Once completely cool, break the brittle into irregular pieces.
