Pecan Pie Bars
cook:
1 h 30 min
These pecan pie bars are so quick and easy to make, you have to give them a try! I developed this recipe without corn syrup (which I try to avoid as much as I can), and switched it with maple syrup with a kick of bourbon. It’s such a perfect combo, you have no idea! These bars take about an hour to make and everyone is gonna love you for them!
