    TIPS FOR MAKING PECAN PIE BARK


    ● Gluten-free base: Substitute gluten-free cookies for the regular ones.
    ● Eggs: Don't overbeat the eggs when adding them to the filling; avoid making the filling too frothy or airy.
    ● Cooling the filling: Let the sugar and butter mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs to prevent it from cooking on contact.
    ● Unmolding: Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent
    sticking.
    ● Biscuit Type: Digestive or graham crackers are ideal for a firm, non-soaked base.
    ● Baking Time: The mixture will be soft when removed from the oven, but will firm up as it cools.
    ● Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
