Each year when November rolls around we find ourselves taking an extra moment to pause and reflect on all it is that we’re grateful for. It’s a time to give thanks for good food, great company and the best ginger beer around. Earn the title of “favorite friend” at this year’s Friendsgiving feast when you show up with one of these delectable desserts along with a pack of Barritt’s Ginger Beer, of course.

Pecan Pie Praline Bark via The Domestic Rebel
Ingredients:
20 Honey graham crackers
1 c. Butter
1 c. Brown sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. Chopped pecans
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with cooking oil. Place graham crackers across the surface area of the pan covering it completely. Heat the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, bringing to a boil for two minutes while stirring constantly. Add the vanilla extract and chopped pecans before pouring overtop of the graham cracker sheet. Quickly spread the mixture around to evenly coat the graham crackers. Bake for 10 minutes or until the mixture bubbles. Once cooled, break apart into pieces.
