Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sticks butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 & 1/4 cups pecan halves
- 2 packages honey graham crackers (about 12 sheets)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F. Grab a rimmed baking sheet and lightly grease it with a non-stick spray. Then, arrange your honey graham crackers in a single, tight layer across the pan. You may need to trim a few crackers to ensure they cover the entire area of the pan.
- Make the Buttery-Pecan Mixture: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, and pecans. Stir continuously as the mixture begins to bubble, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning. Once it reaches a boil, continue cooking for another 3 minutes.
- Pour and Bake: Carefully pour the hot butter-pecan mixture over the graham crackers. Spread the pecans evenly over the crackers to ensure every piece has that crunchy, nutty goodness. Now, pop the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- Cool and Break into Pieces: Once baked, let your Pecan Pie Bark cool completely. When it’s fully set, break it into bite-sized pieces. Store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy for days—if it lasts that long!
Notes
- Use quality butter: It makes a difference in both flavor and texture. Higher-fat butter will make your bark richer.
- Avoid overcooking the mixture: Once the butter, sugar, and pecans reach a gentle boil, limit your cook time to 3 minutes. Overheating can make the bark hard rather than crisp.
- Cool completely before breaking: Patience is key! Let the bark cool completely before attempting to break it apart. This ensures clean, crispy pieces.
