Instructions
Instructions for Making Pecan Pie Bark
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Arrange graham crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there are no gaps.
- Make the caramel topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar, stirring continuously until it becomes smooth and bubbly (about 3–5 minutes).
- Pour the caramel evenly over the graham crackers, spreading it out with a spatula to fully cover them.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans generously over the caramel layer, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until the caramel is bubbling and slightly darkened.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot caramel. Let them sit for a minute to soften, then spread the melted chocolate evenly.
- Let the bark cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting (about 30–60 minutes).
- Break into pieces and enjoy your pecan pie bark!
