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 pecan halves, toasted
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 1 sleeve of crackers)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 15×10 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for exactly one minute. Remove from heat immediately.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the toasted pecans and graham cracker crumbs. Pour the hot sugar mixture over the pecan and crumb mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Remove the sheet from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot bark. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
  7. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top using an offset spatula.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the bark is completely firm.
  9. Once chilled, break the Pecan Pie Bark into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Toast your pecans lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes before using them to deepen their flavor.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • If you prefer a smoother chocolate layer, melt the chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil before spreading.
