Ingredients For pecan pie bark

  • 2 3/4 stick
    butter
  • 1 1/2 c
    white sugar
  • 1 3/4 c
    pecan halves
  • 1 1/2 tsp
    vanilla
  • 2 pkg
    (12 sheets) honey graham crackers
  • 1/2 c
    bourbon or amaretto (optional)

How To Make pecan pie bark

  • 1
    Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Lay your graham crackers tightly across the area of a lightly greased 9 x 13 rimmed baking tray. Trim any crackers to fit the sides of the pan if needed.
  • 2
    In a large saucepan, bring the butter, sugar and pecans to a full rolling boil over medium high heat. Once you get to that stage continue to boil, stirring constantly for 3 minutes.
  • 3
    Carefully (and evenly) pour boiled mixture over the entire plane of graham crackers, spreading pecans around evenly. Immediately pop graham crackers into the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
  • 4
    Allow graham cracker bark to cool completely before breaking into pieces and storing airtight. As you break it some pieces will crumble - that's OK, those are the treats for the cook!
  • 5
    Tip: For an extra added kick add 1/3 cup Bourbon or Amaretto to the mixture in the saucepan. I made a pan with 1/2 honey grahams and 1/2 cinnamon grahams. Next batch will be 1/2 honey and 1/2 chocolate graham crackers.
