Ingredients
-
2 sleeves (about 20) honey graham crackers
-
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
-
1 cup brown sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
How to Make Pecan Praline Pie Bark
Step 1 – Prepare the Base
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer on the sheet, covering as much of the surface as possible. Break a few crackers if needed to fit.
Step 2 – Make the Praline Mixture
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for about 2–3 minutes until thickened and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3 – Add the Pecans
Pour the hot butter-sugar mixture evenly over the graham crackers, spreading with a spatula to cover completely. Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top, pressing them lightly so they stick.
Step 4 – Bake
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the topping is bubbling and the pecans are toasted.
Step 5 – Cool and Break into Pieces
Remove from the oven and allow the bark to cool completely. Once set, break into irregular pieces.
Serving Suggestions
This bark is perfect on its own, but you can also:
-
Package it in festive bags or tins for holiday gifts.
-
Serve alongside coffee or hot chocolate for a cozy treat.
-
