Pecan Pie Bar

Why Make This Recipe

Pecan Pie Bars are the perfect treat when you want something sweet, nutty, and easy to make. They have all the flavor of a traditional pecan pie, but in a simple bar form that’s great for sharing or packing as a snack. These bars are soft, buttery, and filled with crunchy pecans and a sweet, gooey topping.

This recipe is great because you don’t need a pie crust. You make a simple shortbread base and then pour the pecan mixture on top. It bakes up perfectly and cuts easily into squares. It’s faster than making a whole pie, and you can enjoy them warm or cold.

These bars are perfect for holidays, parties, or just a cozy family dessert. Everyone loves them, and they disappear quickly. Plus, you probably already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen. It’s a simple recipe that gives you big flavor without much effort.
