Fireball Graham Cracker Candy is a sweet, crunchy treat with a little kick from Fireball Cinnamon Whisky. This easy candy recipe combines graham crackers, butter, brown sugar and pecans to make a crunchy caramelized snack that tastes like toffee.

It’s a spicy/sweet treat that’s perfect for a Holiday gathering or for when you want a sweet treat with some spice. It’s very similar to my uber popular Bourbon Graham Cracker Candy Recipe.
Ingredients Needed
- 15 Graham Crackers– I use plain graham crackers, but you could use cinnamon/sugar for even more cinnamon flavor.
- Butter– I use salted butter because I like a fair amount of saltiness in my sweets. If you prefer less saltiness, use unsalted butter.
- Light Brown Sugar– Dark Brown Sugar can be used instead.
- Fireball Whiskey– 3 tablespoons adds a little spicy kick and some cinnamon flavor.
- Chopped Pecans– my very favorite nut!
How To Make Fireball Graham Cracker Candy
(More detailed instructions and video in recipe card below.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Graham Cracker Layer. Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer on the parchment paper. You may need to break some of the graham crackers to fit. You want to cover as much of the bottom as possible, but a few gaps are fine.

- Make the Fireball Sauce. Using a medium saucepan with a heavy bottom, melt the butter, brown sugar, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in Fireball.

- Add pecans. Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the graham crackers.

- Pour on the Fireball Sauce. Pour the Fireball mixture over the graham crackers, trying to get as even coverage as possible.

- Bake. Bake for 10 minutes or until turning golden.

- Cool and break into pieces.


Storage
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 1 week.

Variations
- Sprinkle on a few mini chocolate chips right when it comes out of the oven.
- Walnuts can be used instead of pecans.
- Saltine crackers or Club crackers can be used instead of graham crackers.
- Make it spicier with a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- For a non-alcoholic version, leave the bourbon out and add half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
