Pecan Pie Bark is a delightful confection that combines the rich flavors of traditional pecan pie with the crispness of a candy bark. This treat features a base of graham crackers topped with a buttery, caramel-like pecan mixture, resulting in a sweet and crunchy indulgence perfect for holidays or any special occasion.
Ingredients:
12 graham cracker sheets
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions:
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray.
Arrange Graham Crackers: Place the graham cracker sheets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, covering the entire surface. Break the crackers as needed to fit.
Prepare Pecan Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and salt, stirring continuously until the mixture comes to a boil. Allow it to boil for 2 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans until well combined.
Assemble Bark: Pour the hot pecan mixture evenly over the graham crackers, spreading it gently with a spatula to cover all the crackers.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and slightly darkened.
Cool and Break: Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, break the bark into pieces of desired size.
