Steps:
- 1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Lay your graham crackers tightly across the area of a lightly greased 9 x 13 rimmed baking tray. Trim any crackers to fit the sides of the pan if needed.
- 2. In a large saucepan, bring the butter, sugar and pecans to a full rolling boil over medium high heat. Once you get to that stage continue to boil, stirring constantly for 3 minutes.
- 3. Carefully (and evenly) pour boiled mixture over the entire plane of graham crackers, spreading pecans around evenly. Immediately pop graham crackers into the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- 4. Allow graham cracker bark to cool completely before breaking into pieces and storing airtight. As you break it some pieces will crumble - that's OK, those are the treats for the cook!
- 5. Tip: For an extra added kick add 1/3 cup Bourbon or Amaretto to the mixture in the saucepan. I made a pan with 1/2 honey grahams and 1/2 cinnamon grahams. Next batch will be 1/2 honey and 1/2 chocolate graham crackers.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the bark will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overcook the sugar: When making the toffee, it's important to cook the sugar until it reaches the hard crack stage. This will give the bark a nice crunchy texture.
- Use a variety of nuts: Pecans are the traditional nut used in pecan bark, but you can also use other nuts such as walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts.
- Add some flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to pecan bark, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or sea salt.
- Let the bark cool completely: Before cutting the bark into pieces, let it cool completely. This will help to prevent the bark from crumbling.
