Here’s a simple, sweet-and-crunchy Pecan Pie Bark—all the flavor of pecan pie, but in easy breakable chocolate-style bark form.
🍯🥜 Pecan Pie Bark
Ingredients:
- 1 sleeve saltine crackers (or graham crackers)
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups pecans (chopped or whole halves)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Method:
1. Prep base:
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Arrange crackers in a single even layer.
2. Make caramel topping:
- In a pan, melt butter and brown sugar together.
- Stir constantly until it starts bubbling and thickens (about 3–4 minutes).
- Add vanilla and a pinch of salt.
3. Add pecans:
- Stir pecans into the caramel mixture.
4. Assemble:
- Pour the hot pecan caramel evenly over the crackers.
- Spread quickly so it covers everything.
5. Bake:
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes until bubbly and golden.
6. Cool & break:
- Let it cool completely until hardened.
- Break into rustic bark pieces.
🍬 Texture & flavor:
- Buttery caramel crunch
- Toasted pecans
- Sweet-salty bite like Pecan Pie in snack form
🌟 Tips:
- Don’t skip cooling—this is what creates the “bark” snap
- Add chocolate drizzle on top for extra richness
- Store in an airtight container so it stays crisp
If you want, I can also give you a no-bake version, a white chocolate pecan bark, or a spiced cinnamon holiday version 🎄
