    Penny Plate: Pecan Bark For Christmas

    Like peanut brittle? Well, meet its cousin: pecan bark.  I'd never heard of it, but reader Penny in Ontario shared a recipe and picture of it and it sounds amazing.  The recipe is in the deep tradition of Amish confections like peanut brittle and what some call "Amish crack", which is "cashew crunch."  All of these recipes enjoy extra cachet in Amish kitchens this time of year.  So when I saw "pecan bark", man, I was intrigued by that.  I'm going to have to look for pecan bark next time I am in Amish bulk food store or bakery. I've not seen it before, but after seeing this recipe, I'll be on the look-out!
