Make this easy pecan pie bark when you want a sweet treat without baking a full pie. This recipe uses a simple graham cracker base topped with buttery caramel and crunchy pecans for a quick, shareable holiday dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 1 sleeve of crackers)
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves or chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for exactly 1 minute without stirring after it begins to bubble.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and pecans. Pour the hot caramel mixture over the crumb and pecan mixture. Stir quickly until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the bark is completely firm.
  8. Lift the bark out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Break the bark into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • You can toast the pecans lightly in a dry skillet before mixing them in for a deeper flavor.
  • For a richer taste, substitute 1/2 cup of the pecans with chopped walnuts.
  • This pecan pie bark recipe is perfect for holiday trays and gifting.
