How to Make Pecan Bark

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Arrange graham crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of pecan halves over the graham crackers.
  5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter.
  6. Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar to the melted butter and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a rolling boil and the sugar is completely dissolved.
  7. Carefully pour the hot brown sugar mixture evenly over the pecans and graham crackers.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the topping is bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and immediately transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until completely cool and hardened.
  10. Once cooled and hardened, break the pecan bark into irregular pieces.
