Pecan Pie Bark

 

Ingredients:

 Base:

1 sleeve (about 15) graham crackers, broken into squares

 

Pecan Topping:

1 cup unsalted butter

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil,

and arrange the graham cracker squares in a single layer to cover the entire sheet.

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar over medium heat.

Stir continuously until the mixture is fully melted and begins to boil.

Let it boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and salt.

Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the graham crackers,

spreading it gently to cover all the crackers.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

Once cooled, break into pieces and enjoy!

 

Tips:

For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top while the bark is

still warm.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
