Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • Graham Crackers, enough to line a 10 x 15 inch pan broken into squares

Topping

  • 1 cup Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the pecan pie bark.
  2. Prepare Pan: Line a 10 x 15 inch baking pan with edges using aluminum foil, and spray it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Line Graham Crackers: Break graham crackers into squares and evenly line the bottom of the prepared pan to create the base layer.
  4. Make Topping Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt together 1 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar until just dissolved and smooth.
  5. Add Flavor and Nuts: Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans into the melted butter and sugar mixture, combining well.
  6. Assemble: Pour the pecan glaze evenly over the graham cracker base, ensuring an even distribution of nuts and syrup.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for 15 minutes until bubbly and set.
  8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting or breaking into pieces to serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh pecans for the best flavor and crunch.
  • Make sure the mixture is just melted and combined to prevent burning the sugar.
  • Allow the bark to cool fully to harden properly for easy breaking into pieces.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to a week.
