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
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat 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. 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. Let it boil for 2 minutes without stirring, then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and chopped pecans until combined.
- Assemble Bark: Pour the hot pecan mixture evenly over the graham crackers, using a spatula to spread it out and cover the crackers.
- Bake: 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. Once cooled, break the bark into pieces.
Notes
- Storage: Store Pecan Pie Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Variations: Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top after baking for an added salty-sweet flavor.
