How to Make Pecan Praline Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 15x10x1 inch baking pan with whole graham crackers, ensuring they fit snugly.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  5. Continue boiling for exactly 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from heat and let the bubbling subside slightly (about 30 seconds).
  7. Stir in 1 cup of pecan halves.
  8. Pour the praline mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the praline is lightly golden brown and set.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows the pralines to fully set.
