Thanksgiving can feel overwhelming, whether you’re hosting a big gathering or a small get-together. Food preparations often add to the stress, but instead of opting for shortcuts, I prefer to savor the same flavors and traditions. These pecan pie bars are a fantastic way to skip the pie-making fuss while still enjoying all the delicious ingredients and flavors you love.
Ingredients
- 1 package (16 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts and fit them into the bottom of the greased pan, pressing gently to cover the entire base.
- Make Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Fold in the pecan halves until well coated.
- Pour Filling: Pour the pecan mixture over the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Let it cool completely before cutting into bars.
