Bite-Sized Pecan Pie Bars

Dessert is my jam.  I love it and I’ve always had a bit of a sweet tooth.  How about you?  Do you love dessert?

Last year I discovered a local pie place called Prairie Pie.  Soon thereafter, I re-discovered my love for Pecan Pie.  They make large and mini pies.  You can find the mini pies in a number of local grocery stores and other small retailers.

And let me tell you, they are amaze balls!  The crust is flaky to perfection and, well,  my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

One time I tried a Bourbon Pecan Pie — Dear Lord… Of course, when you’re trying to lose weight, you share.  Right?  With these pies, it’s almost impossible to share.  HA!  I mean, they’re mini pies, so sometimes it’s okay to splurge and eat the whole thing.

These AMAZING Pecan Pie Bars are not only a delicious dessert bar, but they're also a great crowd pleaser. Flaky shortbread crust with an incredible pecan pie filling will make these a new favorite. Recipe at livelaughrowe.com #pecanpie #dessertbarAs you can imagine, when I found a Pecan Pie Bar recipe in my recipe box, I was pretty darn ecstatic.  My sister joined me in the kitchen for this baking day and our first attempt was a big fat FAIL.  The crust was thin and burnt.  Womp womp womp!

It’s at these moments where I have to decide whether we made a mistake  — or make a new batch with some revisions.  I also have to take into consideration how the photographs will turn out.  Insert face palm.

Well, I decided to tweak the crust recipe and made a second batch.  Best decision ever!  Crust was spot on and tastier than ever.  These Pecan Pie Bars nail the pecan pie flavor and if you like a shortbread crust, you’re in for a real treat!

These AMAZING Pecan Pie Bars are not only a delicious dessert bar, but they're also a great crowd pleaser. Flaky shortbread crust with an incredible pecan pie filling will make these a new favorite. Recipe at livelaughrowe.com #pecanpie #dessertbarSo when the next pot luck or social event pops up on your calendar, plan to whip up a batch of these bars.   They will not disappoint.  Enjoy!

    I’ve been following your blog for a while now. Last week I needed a quick and easy recipe to take to a missionary farewell. I saw these bars on your blog and decided that I would love to eat them (because I love pecan pie which I seldom get). So, I quickly made two pans of them the night before the big shindig and then I took them along the next day. After many friends, family and other guests had left, I heard that they were a big hit and went way too fast. I just thought you might like to know. Thank you for the great tasting, easy, and fast recipe. I’ve already shared the recipe and your blog twice since Sunday and I think I’ll be sharing it more in the coming days.

    I am always looking for new pecan recipes and pecan bars always peak my interest. (Great pics by the way!) We have someone with gluten issues so I think I am going to try to swap out the all-purpose flour for pecan meal (flour) and see how this shakes out. It usually works and gives us a great gluten-free alternative.
