Calling all pecan lovers! If you love pecans, you are going to die over my Grandma’s pecan bars! Honestly, I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like them (even self professed nut-haters). And whats not to like? Light, flaky crust, ooey gooey filling, and crunchy pecans! It’s an award winning combo people. It has the flavors of pecan pie, but I actually prefer the bars! Plus, they are super easy to make and the recipe yields a ton. You won’t regret trying this one!

Nothing like warm pecan bars on a cool fall night! Pecans are my favorite fall flavor (after pumpkin everything, of course). Do you associate certain foods and flavors with certain seasons, or is it just me?!
Mmmm! Happy Fall everyone!

The shortbread crust cracked everywhere. It was way too dry.

I love recipes from Grandma. These look perfect.
They are always the best ones!
Classic recipes like this are the best especially when they are passed down from generation to generation! Absolutely love the filling in these bars!
Right? Those recipes are the best! So glad you loved them, thanks for letting us know!
They sound fairly simple to make. Both my Dad and my husband would really enjoy this, they both love pecans.
Try them out and let us know what you think!
