Make this irresistible Pecan Pie Bark for a quick, crunchy dessert that captures all the rich, buttery flavor of classic pecan pie in an easy-to-share slab. Perfect for holiday candy trays or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sleeve (about 10 ounces) graham crackers
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves, toasted
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10 inch baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease the foil.
  2. Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, breaking them if necessary to cover the entire surface.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for exactly one minute without stirring.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  5. Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the graham crackers, spreading quickly to coat the entire layer.
  6. Sprinkle the toasted pecans evenly over the hot toffee layer.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven. If using chocolate, immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot bark. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
  9. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the pecan layer.
  10. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the bark is completely firm.
  11. Once firm, lift the bark out of the pan using the foil. Break the Pecan Pie Bark into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Toast your pecans first in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until fragrant. This deepens the flavor significantly.
  • For a cleaner break, you can chill the bark overnight.
  • If you want a thinner layer of chocolate, use only 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.
