Instructions
Making Pecan Pie Bark is straightforward and rewarding. Follow these easy steps to create this delightful treat:
1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
2. Toast the Pecans: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the pecans for about 3-5 minutes until fragrant. Stir occasionally to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
4. Add Condensed Milk and Butter: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and unsalted butter into the melted chocolate, mixing until well combined.
5. Incorporate Vanilla and Salt: Add the vanilla extract and salt to the mixture, ensuring everything is thoroughly combined.
6. Mix in the Pecans: Fold in the toasted pecans until evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
7. Pour Into the Pan: Transfer the chocolate-pecan mixture into the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
8. Sprinkle Sugar on Top: Optionally, sprinkle a layer of granulated sugar over the chocolate bark for added sweetness and texture.
9. Refrigerate the Bark: Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator and chill for at least 45 minutes, or until the bark is firm.
10. Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the bark out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares or irregular pieces as preferred.
With these simple steps, you will achieve a spectacular Pecan Pie Bark that everyone will be eager to taste!
