Graham Cracker Surprise
My daughter was gifted a tin of this, and it was sooo good that I had her ask for the recipe. (I think I will try to reduce the butter in half.)
350 oven
Line pan with graham crackers.
Melt 2 sticks of butter in saucepan.
Add ½ cup sugar. Bring to boil and stir for 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup chopped pecans.
Mix and pour over graham crackers.
Bake for 12 minutes.
Cool for 1 minute, then move onto wax paper.

These were a treat when we went to my Aunt's home at Christmas as kids.
She added chopped maraschinos to the mix. Sometimes even coconut too.
Gave a nice colour lift from an otherwise drab brown!
As per JuliaSB, brown sugar was used.
Butter is the secret ingredient ... AAshley333, might I suggest that if you are changing anything, just go with more graham crackers and a thinner spread/topping? Though TBH, I think for most enjoyment you would be better to stick to the recipe in this case.
