Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Arrange graham crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet, breaking as needed to fit.
In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and pecans. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat.
Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Pour hot mixture evenly over graham crackers and spread with a spatula.
Bake for 8 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
Cool completely, then break into pieces for serving.

Notes

Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled bark for a turtle-inspired version.

Sprinkle sea salt on top for a sweet-salty balance.

Add crushed pretzels with pecans for extra crunch.

Brown sugar can be substituted for granulated sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.

Use gluten-free graham crackers to make this recipe gluten-free.
