Pecan pie is a big deal in my home, especially during the holidays. I like to make at least 3 pecan pies for Thanksgiving, so that everyone can get plenty of pie, and I don’t have to worry about anyone fighting over the last piece. This year year, I plan on making a several sweet potato pies, 2 pecan pies, and two dishes of pecan pie bars. Yes. I will be baking my butt off!
Within this post, I will be sharing my recipe for pecan pie bars. It’s a little time consuming, because it’s homemade, but I promise that it is so worth it!
Serve these pecan pie bars at your next event, sit back, and watch the compliments roll in!
These homemade pecan pie bars are the perfect bite-sized version of the holiday favorite. Serve these at your next holiday get-together for a crowd-pleasing dessert.
Start off with the crust: Mix together the flour, butter and sugar at medium speed with a hand mixer. When the mixture looks like crumbs, add in the chopped pecans.
Add the mixture to the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan.
Bake the crust for 20 minutes.
While the crust is baking, mix together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, flour, and vanilla until it’s completely mixed.
Add in the chopped pecans and fold in.
Add the filling on top of the baked crust, making sure to spread it evenly.
Bake for another 30 minutes until filling is set.
Remove from the oven, and let cool completely.
Serve & enjoy!

Let me be the first to tell you that I don’t now and I never did like Pecan Pie but when I tasted your Pecan Bars I was totally taken back by how Delicious they were. Well now I will tell all of my friends who know me that Rosie’s Pecan Bars are a whole lot better. I’ve got to make this to share with my friends.
Everyone who knows me knows that I don’t and never did like Pecan Pie, but your Pecan Bar was Delicious. I’ve got to tell all of my friends that Rosie’s Pecan Bars are the best. Now that I’ve made this for myself, I’m going to make this for all of my friends that know me. Thank you again Rosie!
I will be making these this weekend. I tried another recipe but was not impressed. However, I have tried tons of your recipes and they NEVER disappoint. Thank you Rosie! You are a bowl full of awesomeness!
My pecan pie bar is still slightly jiggly even after being in the oven for 30+ mins. is it ok for it to have a little jiggle or completely firm? Will it firm as it cools?
