Our family loves pecan pie. However, making a whole pie is difficult, and we often don’t finish it.
My solution is Pecan Pie Bars. Pecan Pie Bars have all the great flavor and crunch of a pecan pie, in a small square. Best of all you don’t have to roll any pie dough.
They’re small enough to fit on a cookie tray,and your friends/neighbors are sure to appreciate them.

What do you think of these pecan pie bars?
Can you use dark corn syrup instead of the light one?
That should be ok Jackie 🙂
These look delicious and like something my dad would love. I pinned it so I can remember to surprise him with them for his upcoming birthday.
yay let me know how they turn out.
This is too funny! I am going to make these in a little bit, I just came from the store! Great minds think alike, these are always wonderful!
these look good. too bad I have to work today or I’d make them for tonight–no time just picking something up on the way home to celelbrate-
thanks for sharing and wishing you a very happy healthy and kind New Year!

I do enjoy pecan pie and these look great. I may have to try it. 🙂
This looks absolutely delicious!!!
Butter tarts are my favourite treat! These look like they would rate right up there! I’d exchange raisins for pecans cuz I’m allergic!
great idea!
That sounds great. Pecan pie is a favorite but it’s so rich.We usually can’t finish the whole thing. I like the smaller size. Thanks.
