Pecan Pie Bars That Are Better Than Pecan Pie

[@Shamrocksdogwood]

Followed the recipe exactly and made these yesterday. These are simply AMAZING! You cannot stop eating these. They have a nice shortbread like biscuit base, a soft center and a chewy caramel nutty topping. It will forever be my go to recipe for the holidays.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad you enjoyed them so much! :)

[@patriciatremblay2058]

I made these yesterday evening and just cut them now! They are delicious! I had to use half light and half dark corn syrup. I forgot to buy more..lol. I did the crumb mixture by hand..haven’t had a food processor in years. Thank you for the parchment paper tip..it’s going to make Christmas baking much easier! I’ve told you this before, but even though I’m baking over 40 years, I can still learn new things! Blessings to you, Sam! ♥️🇨🇦❤️

If you are super anti- corn syrup, like with a corn allergy, you can substitute Cane syrup. It has a slight molasses flavor, but not strong.

I just wanted to let you know that your recipe for pecan pie bars is one of the best I have ever had. Your recipe was very easy to follow and my bars turned out amazing. I made a double batch for thanksgiving this year instead of pecan pie. I am truly thankful I found your recipe. I lost my old recipe that was my mother's and I finally found a great replacement to give to my daughters. Thanks again.

[@SugarSpunRun]

W H A T - you were right, that was easy and looks simply delicious. I am most certainly going to try these. Thank you for developing this recipe. Cheers

[@SugarSpunRun]

You're welcome! Enjoy! :)

[@paulahoffman4658]

I believe that I have read or watched every video recipe for Pecan Bars and found this one the best. I did not have a food processor and mixed the short bread with a pastry blender, it turned out perfectly. I didn't chop the pecans but slightly toasted and left them in halves, next time I will chop them. Also, I would cut the salt down a bit in both the filling and short bread. I would definitely recommend these, they were winners!

[@SugarSpunRun]

That’s awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😊😊

[@tlsopko2849]

So I made these waiting for them to cool is the hardest part Can’t wait to try them

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm always impressed with myself when I actually make it until they are cooled. 🤣

[@bigeneingers]

another success story with these pecan pie bars. made it for the family during Christmas and it was a HUGE hit. My sister gave critical feedback, but when I told her WHY the crust was a cookie crust vs a pie crust, she was so impressed. And she’s not one to give praise freely. we don’t call her dream killer for nothing lol

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad everyone enjoyed them so much, even your tough critic sister. :)

[@cbkqmom]

Ty for your review- I’m a hit the comments type, I’ve made her recipe for a cookie over this holiday and it was bangin- as a pecan pie fanatic, who never gets to have it because it’s a lot of sweet that no one else eats- I LOVE this idea, it’s small portions- and extra love your comments ❤️

[@laurieclarkson9180]

These are so gooey and delicious! EVERYONE loved them at our Christmas party! Thank you

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for using my recipe 🙂

[@grahamturner5963]

Two of my favourite things - Pecans and bars of any variety (including the ones that sell beer 😄😄) I'm looking forward to trying this as a previous recipe I had went strange on me - the syrup ended up underneath everything. It's probably down to math or science (not my strong points) but still tasty

[@SugarSpunRun]

That is really odd. I hope you love these though. The crust is really great here and you shouldn't have that issue. :)

[@LarrysTake]

[@freecalypso311]

hey gurl!!! I made these last night and my family LOVED them!!! that cooling time was torture, they smelled so good!!! I don't have a food processor so I froze my butter and grated it into the dry mixture like making biscuit dough. Then I tossed it to coat it in the flour mix and cut it down the rest of the way by kinda stabbing it with my whisk. lol sounds violent but in the end it looked just like yours. I sifted the 'dust' from my toasted chopped pecans in, too, and my mama said she could eat the crust by itself. 😂😂 I used half light, half dark for both the brown sugar and corn syrup and they came out soooooo good, I'm definitely making these again for the holidays. Pecan pie is one of my family's favorites but I swear I love the scale of these... They feel so much lighter somehow but are just as satisfying. Thank you for sharing--we LOVE your recipes!!!! 💚💚💚

[@freecalypso311]

My mommy (and her coworkers) LOVES your candied pecans too... You never lied, that allspice does indeed give them something special.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad everyone enjoyed them so much! It is so difficult to wait for things to cool. It's my biggest struggle. 🤣

I just know these will be fabulous. I have a request from my son to double the pecan filling. Has anyone tried this? Does the crust baking time change? What about the additional baking time? Thank you.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I have not tried it. If you aren't changing the crust there will be no need to change the bake time there. I'm sure the filling would take a bit longer just due to there being more of it. I'm not sure on a bake time there though.
