Line a cookie sheet with foil. Arrange graham crackers close together to cover the cookie sheet. Combine butter and brown sugar in small saucepan; cook until mixture comes to a boil. Add pecans; spread mixture over graham crackers. Bake in 350 degree oven 10 minutes or until bubbly; cool 10 minutes. Cut each graham cracker in half and remove to a cooling rack. Serve cold.
