Is bark the easiest homemade candy out there? If not, this Pecan Pie Bark de nitely is. See, it uses a
base of graham crackers and just ve more ingredients for an oven-baked bark with plenty of crunch.
When I say easy, I mean you’re looking at maybe ten minutes of prep and ten minutes of baking time
and no candy thermometer needed. It has the sticky sweetness of Pecan Pie but it delivers it in a more
portable hand-held form, which is good news because you’re never going to want this bark to leave
your sight.

Most bark I’ve known relies on a chocolate base that sets up until it’s nice and breakable, but this bark
is unique in that it uses whole graham crackers as the base. You line a baking sheet completely with
them…
… and then combine some butter, brown sugar, pecans, and salt in a saucepan. You let it boil, just long
enough to melt and come together…

…and then you pour it alllll over the graham crackers.

It heads into the oven for just ten minutes, which is long enough for some of the mixture to sink in and
soften the crackers but also long enough for the sugar mixture to then have time to set up into more
of a candy crack as it cools.

It’s the kind of crunchy and sweet treat that’s ease makes it the perfect thing to whip up for g ifts
during the hectic holiday season, but honestly, I love to make it on the most average of days – the
sweet candy snap and nutty crunch will make any day a little more exciting.
