Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a sheet pan (13x18) with foil allowing the foil to overhang pan by a few inches on the long sides.
Place graham crackers in single layer on prepared pan. Cover the entire pan. You will have to cut a few of the crackers to fit.
Melt butter in a medium-size saucepan. Add brown sugar and whisk mixture together over medium heat. Stir continuously until sugar is fully incorporated. At first the butter and sugar will seem to separate. Just keep whisking till smooth.
Bring mixture to a rolling boil, add pecans and continue cooking, stirring frequently for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Be careful as mixture will bubble furiously when you add the vanilla.
Working quickly, pour mixture over graham crackers and spread to cover with a knife.
Bake for 12 minutes. Entire surface should be bubbly. If not, bake a bit longer. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Using foil, transfer bars to a large cutting board and cut into squares. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
