- 1 sleeve about 40 graham crackers, or enough to cover a baking sheet
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 cups pecans roughly chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- Optional: melted chocolate for drizzling
Prepare the Baking Sheet
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup, and arrange the graham crackers in a single layer, covering the entire surface.
Make the Caramel Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and salt, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to boil. Continue to cook for 3–5 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly and turns a rich caramel color. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add Pecans and Pour Over Crackers
Stir the chopped pecans into the caramel sauce, then pour the mixture evenly over the graham crackers on the baking sheet, spreading it out with a spatula to cover all crackers evenly.
Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and golden. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Cool and Break into Pieces
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, use your hands to break the bark into pieces.
Optional: Drizzle with Chocolate
If desired, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled pieces for extra flavor and presentation.
- Use parchment or foil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- This bark can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
