Pecan Pie Bars

Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! I am sharing a favorite recipe for Pecan Pie Bars that I made for Thanksgiving.

his rich and sweet dessert is perfect not only for Thanksgiving but also for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or any other holiday or celebration. Made with simple, unprocessed ingredients, these bars are a pecan pie lover’s dream. They’re ooey-gooey and so delicious, you’ll be licking your fingers. Hope you enjoy them and happy 1st of December!

I made this dessert twice – the first time I used mostly honey and some maple syrup for the pecan topping and it turned out amazing. The second time, I used only maple syrup and it was too runny, so I don’t recommend substituting honey with maple syrup in this recipe.
