Ingredients:
1 sleeve of saltine crackers (about 35 crackers)
1 cup of unsalted butter
1 cup of packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups of chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. 
Make the Praline Topping: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. 
Assemble and Bake: Pour the praline mixture evenly over the crackers, spreading it with a spatula if necessary. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden brown. 
Cool and Serve: Remove the bark from the oven and let it cool completely. Once cooled, break it into pieces and sprinkle with sea salt if desired. This treat is perfect for sharing or gifting during the holidays!
