Honestly? Might “accidentally” knock a few more off the vine just to make another batch 😏

The Easiest Pecan Pie Bars

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Jump to Recipe

With Thanksgiving coming up right around the corner, I thought I would share with you all the easiest (and tastiest) pecan pie bars. This recipe has been my go to recipe for a few years now and it has always been a hit when I make them for Thanksgiving dessert.

I always have love pecan pie itself, but I hate how much work it takes to prepare and how little servings you get for all your efforts.

With these bars, they are so rich and indulgent, you can slice them up smaller and get more servings out of them this way. Plus, I think it’s much easier to make than regular pecan pie.

Mine always tend to be too runny when I make it and this recipe seems to be tried and true and comes out perfectly every time I make it!

Pecan Pie Bars
How perfect is it to have my Antique Candle Co Pecan Pie scent burning while I make these yummy bars?!

Recipe Notes:

I got the original recipe from Rock Recipes, but I have tweaked a few things from it over the years. Feel free to check out the original recipe too if you have any other questions or concerns on how to make these.

But I promise, these pecan pie bars are super easy and don’t require too much time or effort!

It’s also important to note here that it does call for a food processor to combine the flour, butter, and sugar together to make the shortbread crust.

I don’t have one but I did use my handy dandy Ninja blender since it has a pulse option to it. And guess what!?

It turned out just fine! I’ll link a similar one to mine here below in case you don’t have a food processor either.

The Easiest Pecan Pie Bars

Pecan Pie Bars

These bars have a buttery shortbread crust and a gooey pecan topping. It's just like cookie bars meets pecan pie!

Ingredients
  

For The Shortbread Crust:

  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup cold butter

For The Pecan Pie Filling:

  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour also add 1 tablespoon of all purpose flour to this mixture too.
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups corn syrup dark corn syrup is the best.
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped pecans originally recipe only calls for 2 cups, but I like to have mine with extra pecans so I add in an extra half cup here.

Instructions
 

For The Shortbread Crust:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees if you are using a glass baking pan (or preheat to 350 degrees if you are using a different pan).
  • Spray cooking pan with cooking spray throughly. Then place a sheet of parchment paper large enough to cover the whole pan on top of the sprayed cooking pan. This will make it much easier to remove the baked pecan pie bars later.
    Parchment Paper in baking pan
  • Mix together the 1 and 3/4 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of sugar completely. Then, add in the cool 3/4 cup of butter. It is best to use a food processor for this part because you want the mixture to resemble very fine crumbs.
    Ninja Mixer
  • Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and try to make it as even as you can.
    Before Baking Shortbread Crust
  • Place into preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until it is a nice golden brown color. The original recipe calls for just 20 minutes, but I find that it is not done enough after just 20 minutes for my oven. I did it for just 20 minutes one time and the crust came out a little doughy on the bottom so it just depends on your preference and your oven for how long you bake it here.
    Baked Shortbread Crust

For The Pecan Pie Layer:

  • While the shortbread is baking you can now make the top pecan pie layer to these bars. Mix together 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon of flour and 2/3 cups of brown sugar throughly to prevent any lumps.
    Pecan Pie Topping
  • Then whisk in the 4 eggs, 1 tablespoon of vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 cups dark corn syrup until completely combined.
    Pecan Pie Topping Layer
  • Let this mixture sit for about 15 minutes while the crust bakes and stir it occasionally.
  • Add the pecans to the mixture and stir to combine.
    Topping for Pecan Pie Bars
  • Pour topping all over the still hot shortbread crust and place it back in the oven for 50 minutes. Again, the original recipe called for about 40 minutes but I found that wasn't enough time for them to be completely done. You want it to have a little wiggle when you pull it out of the oven but not so much that when you cut into it, it will be runny.
    Baking pecan pie bars
  • Cool the bars in the pan to room temperature and then place in fridge for several hours or even overnight.
    Cooled Pecan Pie Bars
  • Once they are completely cool, pull the bars out of the pan with the extra parchment paper and then place on cutting board. Use a serrated knife and saw through the bars, cutting them to your desired size and enjoy!

Freezing the Pecan Pie Bars

If you don’t want to enjoy these right away, you can easily freeze them for later. That’s why I love making them ahead of time for Thanksgiving or Christmas or any other holiday party!

Cutting The Pecan Pie Bars
Here they are all cut up. Notice I don’t do a very good job of cutting them evenly lol

After the pecan pie bars have cooled completely, cut them up into little (or big) squares. Then, simply wrap each piece in cling wrap or Press-N-Seal wrap and wrapped place bars into freezer bag.

Then you can freeze them for up to 3 months and just take them out of the freezer the night before your event so they can thaw properly in the fridge.

And since they are individually wrapped, you can just take one or two out at a time!

Here is everything you need to freeze them!

    These sound delicious! I love that they give me all of the holiday vibes – the perfect option to bring along to family holiday get-togethers (although we might have to shelve that part of the equation until next year lol)

    I love pecans! These look easy to make, and I already have the ingredients in the house. And I love that you mentioned how to freeze them because a lot of times I avoid baking sweets because I don’t want so much left in the house to tempt me.

      Yes! I love the freezing option as well because I am the same way. If I see it out, I have to eat it lol

    I have to try these! I love how easy they are and how delicious they look. I always find pecan pie a bit too heavy for me, but I love the flavors, so these bars look like an amazing ‘lighter’ alternative. 🙂

      Yes! They definitely are because you can cut them up into much smaller pieces!

Before it slips away, I had to share one more dose of Christmas in July magic! ✨🎄
Every year, one of my favorite holiday traditions is turning my coffee bar into a cozy little hot cocoa bar, and it seriously brings all the festive feels.
There’s just something so magical about sipping hot cocoa by the glow of a Christmas tree, even if it’s 90 degrees outside! 😍☕️
Bring on the marshmallows and twinkle lights, cozy season is always welcome here.
Who says festive drinks are just for December?! 🎄✨
These pomegranate rosemary ice cubes are one of my favorite holiday hacks, and they’re too pretty not to use year-round.
They instantly turn sparkling water into a chic little mocktail, and they look absolutely magical as they melt! 😍
So of course I had to bring them out for Christmas in July!
You can swap in cranberries too, so many fun combos to try!
Get the easy how-to on the blog:

One of my little tomatoes popped off the vine while I was fixing the trellis (rude). But listen, I’ve put way too much love into these raised beds to let anything go to waste. So I sliced it up, fried it Southern-style, and WOW… crispy, tangy, perfection.
Honestly? Might “accidentally” knock a few more off the vine just to make another batch 😏

Call me unhinged, but I’m deep into Christmas in July and I’m not sorry about it. Twinkle lights, cozy vibes, hot cocoa (okay, iced cocoa) ☕️ I want it all.
If you’re craving a little festive magic in the middle of summer, you’re in the right place. Come obsess over Christmas decor and cozy inspo with me, the AC is blasting and the nostalgia is real. ❄️✨
