Pecan Pie Bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that captures the rich, sweet flavors of traditional pecan pie in a convenient, shareable form. Here’s a simple recipe for Pecan Pie Bark:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 box (about 14 ounces) graham crackers
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they fit tightly together.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar, stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to come to a boil, then let it boil for 2-3 minutes without stirring. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the hot butter and sugar mixture evenly over the graham crackers, using a spatula to spread it if needed.
- Sprinkle the pecan halves evenly over the butter and sugar mixture, pressing them gently into the mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. As it cools, the mixture will harden.
- Once completely cooled, break the bark into pieces. You can either cut it into squares or break it into more rustic pieces.
- Store the Pecan Pie Bark in an airtight container at room temperature.
