Praline Bars

Makes 60 bars, Prep 20 min., Cook 15 minutes

15 graham cracker sheets ( a sheet is a whole perforated but unbroken cracker stacked and wrapped)
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup white chocolate morsels

Separate each graham cracker sheet into 4 crackers (I found that using a serrated knife along the perforation made the neatest cut). Place in lightly greased 15X10 inch jelly roll pan. Sprinkle chopped pecans over graham crackers.

Bring brown sugar and butter to a boil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Boil 2 minutes. Pour brown sugar mixture over graham crackers in pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Quickly remove graham crackers to wax paper using a spatula. Rearrange any pecan pieces that fell off while sugar is still warm and pliable. Let cool completely.

Microwave chocolate morsels in a zip lock baggie at 30 seconds intervals until melted. Snip end off of baggie and drizzle over cooled bars. Repeat with white chocolate. Store after chocolate has set. These keep and freeze well.
