I love to bake, but the truth is, pies are not one of my specialties. I've conquered layer cakes, cupcakes, tiramisu and everything else you can think of. So when Thanksgiving rolled around, and it was time to prepare dessert I chickened out in the pie making department. Instead, I came up with this recipe. It tastes just like pecan pie, only in bar form. Easier to make, easier to bake and easier to serve. Happy National Pie Day! Sort of.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the pin! My husband and I don't care for pecan pie, so my best friend LOVES it when I make these because I usually share half the pan!
