FANTASTIC GRAHAM CRACKER CANDY BALLS (NO-BAKE)
These are so good, and so easy to make, they don't take more than 15 minutes to make in total, these are extremely addictive, you won't be able to stop eating them lol! You can sub whipping cream for the evaporated milk, I have done this a few times, and it seems to work just fine, also you can use 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup light brown sugar if desired. Just remember to leave the mixture sit in the pot or bowl for about 10 minutes or longer to allow the mixture to firm up. If desired chill the balls firsty and then coat in melted semi-sweet chocolate...YUMMMMMM!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10" x 15" jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. Butter foil. Place a single layer of graham crackers in the pan. Boil butter and sugar for three minutes. Pour butter and sugar mixture over graham crackers. Top with chopped nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool completely and then break into pieces. ---------------------------------------------- For the Chocolate Version: After baking the candy, scatter the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the crackers. Return to oven - bake 2 to 3 minutes or until chocolate softens. Remove from oven and using a spatula, spread the chocolate over the crackers. Sprinkle nuts over the chocolate. Let cool until hardened. For quick hardening - cool for 30 minutes then transfer to the freezer for 15 minutes. When cool, break into pieces.
Tips:
- Use fresh graham crackers for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check if the sugar syrup is ready. Drop a small amount of the syrup into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup, or it will become too hard and brittle.
- Let the candy cool completely before cutting it into pieces.
- Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
