Create this simple, shareable sweet treat that captures the rich flavor of classic pecan pie using a buttery graham cracker base. This no-bake pecan treat is perfect for holidays or quick desserts.

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, lightly toasted
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Line an 11×17 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 melts and the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for exactly 1 minute without stirring. Remove from heat immediately.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the toasted pecans and graham cracker crumbs. Pour the hot toffee mixture over the pecan and crumb mixture. Stir quickly until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the coated mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down lightly with a spatula to form a single layer.
  6. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the warm bark. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
  7. Spread the softened chocolate chips into an even layer using an offset spatula.
  8. Refrigerate the bark for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
  9. Once firm, break the 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 3-5 minutes before using to deepen their flavor.
  • For an ultimate pecan pie flavor, you can substitute 1/2 cup of the pecans with chopped walnuts.
  • If you want a quicker set time, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes after spreading the chocolate.
