What Are Pecan Pie Bars?

All the deliciousness of pecan pie rolled up into 36 delightful bars that can feed a crowd! If you’re looking to have the classic flavors of pecan pie but not such huge portions after loosening your belt from the big meal, these pecan pie bars are perfect.

How Do I Know When Pecan Pie Bars are Set?

Bake them for the minimum time (25 minutes) and check them for the visual doneness cue. Is the top firmer looking that when they went in the oven? Does the filling move much when you jiggle the pan? If the filling is firm and not very jiggly, they are done. If not, bake a minute or two longer and check them again.
