This recipe for awesome pecan pie bars is well… Awesome! We have tried a few other recipes for pecan pie bars but this is perfect for us.
With Thanksgiving only days away, we hope this will be great for your family.
I like to use parchment paper in the bakeware so that the bars can be lifted out after done. Simply grease your baking dish with butter or a little bit of cooking oil before lining the dish with parchment paper.
The most difficult part of this recipe is cutting in the butter for the crust. Just take your time and ensure the butter is incorporated so that there are no large chunks. We aim for pea size as a maximum.
These are great during Christmas and Thanksgiving. Enjoy
We love dessert recipes and think you may also enjoy this brownie recipe. Its rich and dark chocolate so watch out! Dark chocolate lovers only, please.
