So good and it just can't get any easier to make. Make several batches because it disappears so fast!

Categories     Nuts

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 3/4 stick butter
1 1/2 c white sugar
1 3/4 c pecan halves
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 pkg (12 sheets) honey graham crackers
1/2 c bourbon or amaretto (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Lay your graham crackers tightly across the area of a lightly greased 9 x 13 rimmed baking tray. Trim any crackers to fit the sides of the pan if needed.
  • 2. In a large saucepan, bring the butter, sugar and pecans to a full rolling boil over medium high heat. Once you get to that stage continue to boil, stirring constantly for 3 minutes.
  • 3. Carefully (and evenly) pour boiled mixture over the entire plane of graham crackers, spreading pecans around evenly. Immediately pop graham crackers into the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
  • 4. Allow graham cracker bark to cool completely before breaking into pieces and storing airtight. As you break it some pieces will crumble - that's OK, those are the treats for the cook!
  • 5. Tip: For an extra added kick add 1/3 cup Bourbon or Amaretto to the mixture in the saucepan. I made a pan with 1/2 honey grahams and 1/2 cinnamon grahams. Next batch will be 1/2 honey and 1/2 chocolate graham crackers.

Time 1h5m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup margarine
4 eggs
1 ½ cups light corn syrup
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 tablespoons margarine, melted
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Cut in 1 cup of margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the prepared pan, and press in firmly.
  • Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
  • While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl mix together the eggs, corn syrup, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 3 tablespoons margarine, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans. Spread the filling evenly over the crust as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor: This is the easiest way to finely chop the pecans and graham crackers. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a rolling pin to crush the graham crackers and a sharp knife to chop the pecans.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: The filling will expand as it bakes, so it's important to leave some room at the top of the crust. You should have about 1/2 inch of space between the filling and the rim of the crust.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is set: The pie is done baking when the filling is set and no longer jiggles when you shake the pan. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld together. The pie can be served warm or cold.

Conclusion:

Pecan pie bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover pecan pie filling, or it can be made from scratch. No matter how you make it, pecan pie bark is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
