SOUTH CAROLINA: Munch your way across the USA. Julie Tomlinson, the state of SC is now represented. This recipe is from "Capitol Cookies" with recipes from every state and Washington, DC. This recipe was submitted by Southeast Presbyterian Church Youth, Columbia, South Carolina, Ed Eubanks, Chairperson. Let us know, Julie, when you make this recipe.

I make a similar recipe called Pecan Bark. The recipe I use calls for 2 sticks of butter, which you can use in this recipe as well, just be sure to omit the one stick of margarine.

How to Make South Carolina's Praline Grahams

Step-by-Step

1Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Break graham crackers into sections and line as close together as possible. It will take approximately 1 1/2 packages, which is about 24 grahams. There are three (3) packages to a box.
2Boil butter, margarine and brown sugar for three (3) minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla and mix well. *I use 2 sticks of butter rather than one stick each of butter and margarine. You can also use two sticks of margarine and omit the butter if you prefer. It's your call.
3Pour evenly over crackers and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Bake ten (10) minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool and peel off foil. Store in airtight container to keep them crisp.
