Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves, toasted
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
  4. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to boil. Reduce the heat slightly and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Do not overcook.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the toasted pecans until they are fully coated in the caramel mixture.
  6. Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the graham cracker base. Spread it out gently with a spatula.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven. If using chocolate chips, immediately sprinkle them evenly over the hot topping. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
  9. Spread the melted chocolate gently across the top.
  10. Chill the bark in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
  11. Lift the bark out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Break the bark into irregular, bite-size pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Toast your pecans first in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until fragrant. This deepens the flavor significantly.
  • For a sweeter finish, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the melted chocolate layer before chilling.
  • This recipe makes excellent homemade gifts; package the pieces in small cellophane bags or mason jars.
