It\u2019s hard to go wrong with a dessert whose main ingredients are pecans, toffee, butter and sugar, and these pecan pie bars feature all of the above. These sweet bars take inspiration from the classic Thanksgiving pecan pie<\/a>, then add a little twist to it.<\/p>\n Pecan pie bars have a shortbread crust as the base, and they feature a gooey, sink-your-teeth-into filling that’s studded with bits of pecans and milk chocolate English toffee. Best of all, their hand-held nature makes them great for parties and larger get-togethers. When you take all that and add their southern roots to the mix, you’ve got one perfect Kentucky Derby dessert<\/a>!<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> If you don\u2019t have a butter-cutting tool, use two forks to cut the butter into the flour and sugar mixture.<\/p>\n Press the shortbread crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 13×9-inch baking dish. Bake the crust for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the sweetened condensed milk, egg, vanilla and salt together until smooth. Stir in the toffee bits and pecans, and spread the filling evenly over the baked crust.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>Use a mini offset spatula, butter knife or the back of a spoon to really get into the corners of the baking dish.<\/p>\n Bake the bars until they\u2019re lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes longer. Cool the bars to room temperature. Cover the pan, and chill the bars. Cut into bars, end enjoy. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, and avoid keeping the bars out of the fridge for longer than two hours.<\/p>\n Yes, you can make these pecan pie bars in advance, and they\u2019re the perfect thing to do so! Bake the bars the day before you\u2019re serving, then let them hang out in the fridge in their pan uncut. Doing this will let the flavors meld, plus the bars will be perfectly set for you to cut them the next day. The hardest part about this recipe is not immediately digging in when the bars are out of the oven\u2014they need time to let the filling set!<\/p>\n You need to refrigerate these pecan pie bars since they include an egg in the filling.<\/p>\n To store, allow them to cool completely to room temperature, then wrap the top of the pan in storage wrap, or place the slices in an airtight container. These bars can last in the fridge for up to five days.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze pecan pie bars. Allow the freshly baked bars to cool completely to room temperature, then cut them into slices, and store them in a freezer-safe container. Keep the bars in the freezer for up to three months, then thaw them overnight in the fridge.<\/p>\n The bars are done baking when the edges are golden brown and completely set and the center jiggles slightly when shaken.<\/p>\n The trick to making sure your pecan pie bars don\u2019t get soggy is by parbaking the crust. However, we already do that in our pecan pie bars recipe, so there is no need to worry about soggy-bottomed bars here! These pecan pie bars are rich and delicious – just like pecan pie! They’re perfect for taking to potlucks and other gatherings…I always come home with an empty pan. These Kentucky Derby pecan pie bars are the perfect snack while watching the races. \u2014Carolyn Custer, Clifton Park, New

It turned out so good, I\u2019m a little afraid to try with the chocolate. I absolutely loved they way they turned out. I did double the pecans as I love nuts. I think they would be good either way.

First of all, they are delicious! Having said that I would like to address a couple of issues. I saw a couple of reviews complaining that the pecan topping was too small compared to the crust. I cut a slice and looked at the cross section and it appeared that the topping was 60% and crust 40% so I felt that ratio was appropriate. I did have trouble with the crust - spreading it out so thin in a 9 X 13 pan. When I make this again I am likely to use a 9 X 9 pan. I cooked the crust for the 15 minutes and it seemed cooked but when eating the bars I wished I had cooked it another 5 minutes or so. The crust seemed a bit wet and mushy. The topping was easy to make and 25 minutes cooking seemed just right as it was firm and just starting to brown around the edges. Lastly I can't imagine cutting these into 48 pieces. That would be one bite. I cut mine into 16 pieces which seemed just right per serving. And no, these bars are not pecan pie nor are they meant to be. These are a delicious dessert in their own right.

These bars were so deliciously rich and came out perfect. The bottom tasted like a very rich shortbread . The second day they tasted just like the first day, only better.
