Pecan Pie Bars


These Pecan Pie Bars are a rendering of the the beloved, and delightfully gratuitous, southern pie. The chewy little take on the classic fits lovingly in the palm of your hand and enjoyed perfectly in one, two, or three bites (while reaching for the next)! Believe me, it was difficult to not just eat the batch. Include these in this holiday's eating festivities for a delicious, and quite sharable, morsel of pecan pie. Enjoy!!
