Southern Pecan Pie Bars

Pecan Pie is one of our favorites.  I want to make it pretty much all the time, but I try to restrain myself. At least until the temperatures drop a bit and the first leaf changes color.  Then all bets are off.

But do you want to know what's even better than Pecan Pie? These Southern Pecan Pie Bars.  Let me tell you why.  The crust is a lot softer than your average pie crust, but it's also thicker and more absorbent.  The Southern pecan pie bars filling actually sinks into the crust and creates this wonderful, gooey, soft, sweet dessert that you will absolutely become addicted to.  No shame in eating the whole batch of Southern Pecan Pie Bars! (That's what I'm telling myself.  Work with me, here!)

Southern Pecan Pie Bars are actually very simple to make and will finish off your holiday meals as the star of the show. My guarantee!

    We love pecan anything. My brother-in-law manages a pecan farm in Georgia so we have pecans all the time, but especially now when they are being harvested. I have another bar recipe but this looks better. Pinning and making,
