Pecan Pie Bark is a delightful twist on the classic pecan pie. This simple dessert features a buttery, sweet pecan topping spread over a crispy graham cracker base, baked to perfection for a crunchy, satisfying treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • Graham Crackers, broken into squares (enough to cover a 10 x 15 inch baking pan)

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. Line a 10 x 15 inch baking pan with edges with aluminum foil, and spray it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Graham Cracker Base: Break the graham crackers into squares and arrange them evenly to cover the bottom of the lined baking pan, creating a solid base layer.
  3. Make Pecan Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, stirring occasionally until the mixture is just dissolved and smooth.
  4. Add Flavor and Nuts: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the graham cracker base in the baking pan, spreading carefully so it covers the crackers fully. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the pecan pie bark to cool completely before cutting into pieces and serving. This will help the topping set and become firm.

Notes

  • Ensure the pecan mixture is just dissolved but not boiling to prevent burning.
  • Use chopped pecans for better coverage and texture.
  • Allow the bark to cool fully to harden for easy cutting and serving.
  • This dessert can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • For extra flavor, you may toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the mixture.
