Pumpkin Spice S'mores Cracker Candy.


Remember a couple summers ago when I made graham cracker s'mores candy

You know... chocolate and marshmallows melted over a layer of bubbling caramel and graham crackers?


It's been my summer 2012 go-to, last-minute, I've-been-at-the-beach-all-day recipe. Wait, we're going to a barbeque where? You said I'm bringing what? Tonight

Give me just one second. I need some graham crackers.
   
Well, this is that recipe... hunkered down for fall.


Graham crackers become cinnamon-sugar grahams.

Marshmallows become orange, pumpkin-shaped pumpkin spice mallows.





And white chocolate chips and toasted pecans replace the handfuls of Hershey milk chocolate squares and chocolate chips. 

Basically buttery, brown sugar, caramel-y goodness.  All in a pan, all for you.

P.S. Should I be worried that most of my favorite holiday recipes involve crackers


This.

This is what November tastes like.

It's pumpkin spice meets pre-game bonfires meets cinnamon-sugar s'mores, all together, during Revenge commerical breaks, in under twenty minutes. 

Seriously, these are so easy. If have butter and graham crackers, you're halfway there. 


If you have a new apartment, no kitchen table, no place to sit, one baking sheet, one spoon, and one pot holder, you're also halfway there. In case you were wondering.

Pumpkin Spice S'mores Cracker Candy


12 sheets of cinnamon graham crackers
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 (8 ounce) package pumpkin spice marshmallows
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup toasted pecans

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang over the ends, and spray foil with cooking spray. Line graham crackers up on the foil so that the sides are touching.

Toast pecans for 4-5 minutes on a baking sheet (I used a metal pie pan). Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and mixture comes just to a boil (about 4-6 minutes). Remove from heat and pour evenly over crackers. Bake 5 to 6 minutes, or until bubbly.

Remove pan from oven and immediately sprinkle marshmallows, white chocolate chips, and toasted pecans over the crackers. 

Return pan to oven for another 2-3 minutes, or until marshmallows begin to soften and puff up. 

Cool completely before serving. Lift from pan using foil edges; cut into bars and enjoy!

WOW! These look amazing. I've already pinned and going to make sure I have all the ingredients to make these this week. Thanks for sharing! :)
You need to send me some of those marshmallows! We don't have anything like that in Australia. I'm still a little dubious about pumpkin being mixed with sweet stuff but I think I might slowly work up to it by trying to find some pumpkin puree and put it in a hot chocolate with some spices.

Me too. I still can't get down with pumpkin chocolate chip cookies... or pumpkin-chocolate anything. But pumpkin + white chocolate is perfect. Try it. I'm sure you'll love it.
Oh. My. Word.

Yes, please.
I made these tonight for a fall-themed office luncheon we're having at work tomorrow. They just came out of the oven and smell divine! So far, though, they don't look like the picture, but maybe they will once they cool and I can cut them into squares (hopefully)!
I want to make these today to serve on Thanksgiving. will they keep in an airtight container until then or should I refrigerate them?

Yes. I kept these in an airtight container on the counter and they lasted almost two weeks.
Made these for work colleagues & they are really good, but lacking in pumpkin flavour. So for thanksgiving I, added 1/2C pumpkin purée to the brown sugar & butter caramel. Tasted even better

It's true, they do have a very subtle pumpkin flavor. I love the idea of pumpkin puree to the brown sugar mix.
I wanted to make these right away but did not have white chocolate chips on hand. What I did have was a leftover bag of the pumpkin spice kisses! Chopped them up instead, added a splash of vanilla to the butter/brown sugar mix and called it a success!

You're inspiring. Those pumpkin spice kisses are even better than white chocolate anyway. Look at you, making it happen!
My mouth is really becoming watery after watching this delicious candy that you have made up here. The good thing is that you have given the recipe for it to make at home.
This cracker candy was as yummy as this was looking in that picture and I must say it was a great experience of making them. I have made this for my lovely husband and he just loved it.
