Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

Tuesday, November 1, 2016
If you're a chocolate and pecan pie lover, this bar cookie will be your new favorite.


The biggest difference in our bars is this buttery delicious crust has a chocolate fudge layer with a homemade gooey center that makes this filling taste like the classic pecan pie but better with the addition of chocolate in the center.


These cookies make a great addition around the Thanksgiving Holiday since they are simple to make and easier to serve.


The best part is these are so simple and much quicker than making a pecan pie.


Everyone will rave about these and you just might have to make a double batch since they fly off the dish here.


Perfect dessert option when you're not fond of baking or making pies.

The Best of Both Worlds



Chocolate fudge with that gooey center between a cookie butter crust, the best of both worlds all in one bar.


These are perfect with coffee and tea after dinner after a huge meal with no room left for a large piece of pecan pie.
