Make this simple, crunchy Pecan Pie Bark when you want a dessert that tastes like classic pecan pie without the baking fuss. This recipe uses a graham cracker base for a quick, shareable holiday candy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups pecan halves, lightly toasted
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 1 sleeve of crackers)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture bubbles and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Do not let it burn.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and the toasted pecans. Pour the hot butter mixture over the crumb and pecan mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Press it down lightly with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
  6. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from the oven. Immediately sprinkle any extra pecans on top if desired. Let the bark cool completely on the counter until firm, about 1 hour, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for faster setting.
  8. Once firm, break the Pecan Pie Bark into irregular shards. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • To toast pecans, spread them on a dry skillet over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant.
  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute 1/2 cup of the pecans with chopped walnuts.
  • This candy is excellent for homemade holiday gifts or adding to a festive dessert tray.
