Project 56 - The Best Cookies in the World!

Oh my goodness,  you guys have got to try making these!!!  I found this recipe over  at Kerry's Blog.  They are the easiest cookies I have ever make, and the best tasting I have EVER tasted!!  I made them for my neighbors and friends!  Here is the recipe:
Praline Strip
1 cup real butter not margarine.
1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
1 cup chopped Pecans.  I purchase the whole Pecans and chop the up myself.

Approx. 24 Graham Crackers...enough to cover the cookie sheet.

1. Line a cookie sheet with tin foil.  Spread out Graham Crackers, splitting them into halves and/or quarters, to cover the entire sheet. 

2. Bring to boil: 1 cup butter & 1 cup brown sugar.  Once it reaches a boil, simmer for 2 minutes.

 

3. Add 1 cup chopped pecans and stir.

4. Remove from heat and pour mixture over the Graham Crackers. Spread evenly.
5. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes.

Mixture will start to spread out over the Graham Crackers in the heat.

Allow to cool completely, then break apart. 

 I lay them on a clean dish towel to get rid of some of the butter. 

All done.....Wrapped and ready to go!

BUG HUGS!!

Project 55 -Happy Holidays.....

Happy Monday.......Wow...4 more days left until Christmas.  Where did the time go?  Did everyone get their Christmas shopping done yet?  Not me... I'm hoping by tomorrow!  

I purchased some Copic Markers and here is my first attempt at coloring.  

What do you think?
