Pecan Pie Bark

Have ten minutes? Make this five ingredient bark!

Is bark the easiest homemade candy out there? If not, this Pecan Pie Bark definitely is. See, it uses a base of graham crackers and just five more ingredients for an oven-baked bark with plenty of crunch. When I say easy, I mean you’re looking at maybe ten minutes of prep and ten minutes of baking time and no candy thermometer needed. It has the sticky sweetness of Pecan Pie but it delivers it in a more portable hand-held form, which is good news because you’re never going to want this bark to leave your sight.
