Description
This easy Pecan Pie Bark recipe delivers all the rich, buttery flavor of pecan pie in a simple, crunchy bark form. Made with graham crackers, a caramel-like brown sugar and butter topping, and plenty of pecans, it’s a perfect holiday treat or edible gift.
Ingredients
- 12 graham cracker sheets
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecan halves, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper or foil. Lightly spray with nonstick spray.
- Arrange graham crackers in a single layer to cover the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and salt, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
- Boil for 2-3 minutes while stirring, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and chopped pecans.
- Quickly pour the mixture evenly over the graham crackers, spreading it out as evenly as possible.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until bubbly.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- You can use whole pecans or a mix of chopped and whole for varied texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Line the pan well to make cleanup easier and prevent sticking.
- This bark makes a great holiday gift when packaged in festive bags or tins.
