Ingredients

15 graham cracker squares
1 cup butter melted
1 ½ cups brown sugar
2 cups pecans chopped
4 ounces dark chocolate melted

Instructions

Line a rectangular pan with parchment paper.
Cover the bottom of the pan entirely with graham crackers.
Melt butter in a large saucepan at medium heat.
Mix in the brown sugar. When you reach a caramel mixture, bring it to a boil.
Stir continuously for 2 minutes after boiling to make sure butter and brown sugar are well combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the pecans, ensuring the pecans are covered completely.
Drizzle caramel and pecan mixture over the entire plane of graham crackers. Spread the mixture until it is evenly and completely covering the graham crackers.
Melt chocolate in the microwave.
Drizzle the dark chocolate over the graham cracker bark.
Place the bark in the refrigerator or freezer until the mixture has hardened.
Break the squares apart and enjoy! (It doesn't matter if they break perfectly.)
Store for up to a week at room temperature in a tightly sealed container.

Notes

Tips for making Pecan Bark

Make sure to mix continuously for 2 minutes after boiling to ensure the brown sugar and butter are combined well; this way, the two don’t split when pouring over the graham crackers.
Coat the pecans completely with the caramel mixture, then completely coat the graham cracker layer with the mixture. I promise you; this candy will be completely indulgent!
Be sure the bark is cool and hardened before you break the pieces apart.
Graham Cracker Pecan Pie Bark is certainly worthy of its own platter. That said, it is also a perfect accent to a charcuterie board or cookie platter. I also plan to wrap short stacks in cellophane, tied with holiday ribbon, to share with friends.
