Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 12 whole graham cracker sheets
  • 1 c butter
  • 1 c light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 t salt
  • 1 t vanilla extract
  • 1 c pecans chopped
  • 1 c mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 c red and green mini M&M's
  • 1/3 c red candy melts
  • 1/3 c green candy melts
  • 2 t vegetable shortening divided, optional, for thinning
  • 2 T Christmas sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet, breaking pieces as needed to fill the pan.
  • Add the butter and brown sugar to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a full boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the salt and vanilla.
  • Pour the hot mixture evenly over the graham crackers and spread it to the edges with an offset spatula, bowl scraper, or the back of a large spoon.
  • Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, until the topping is hot and bubbling. Immediately sprinkle the marshmallows over the top to melt.
  • Let it cool for about 5 minutes. While the marshmallow topping is still a little tacky, scatter over the M&M's and press them in gently. (This will help them adhere when you cut or break this into pieces.) Then let the whole pan cool completely.
  • Melt the red candy melts in 20 second intervals, stirring after each, adding 1 teaspoon shortening if needed to thin. Drizzle over the pralines.
  • Melt the green candy melts the same way and drizzle in the opposite direction.
  • Add the sprinkles while the drizzle is still wet. Let stand 20 to 30 minutes until set, then break or cut into pieces.
