"Pecan pie is one of my favorite holiday desserts, but I'll be honest: I don't always have the patience for pie crust. That's exactly why I love our Food Editor Patty Catalano's pecan pie bars. They've got all the gooey, nutty sweetness of classic pecan pie, with a buttery shortbread crust that's way easier to make. No rolling or crimping - just press it into the pan and bake."
"The buttery shortbread crust comes together in minutes (no rolling pin required!) and gives the bars the perfect foundation for the rich, gooey filling. You can cut them into 12 generous bars, but I like to slice them into smaller pieces for the perfect bite - especially when there's a dessert table filled with pumpkin pie and cookies. They're easy to share, and (dare I say) even more delicious than pie."
Pecan pie bars combine the gooey, nutty filling of classic pecan pie with a buttery shortbread crust that requires no rolling or crimping. The crust presses into a pan and bakes quickly, creating a sturdy, flavorful base for the sticky, caramel-like filling. The bars can be cut into 12 generous servings or smaller pieces for sharing on dessert tables and are well suited to holiday gatherings. Using pecan pieces ensures even nut distribution, and choosing light corn syrup, dark corn syrup, or a mix produces the signature glossy, caramel texture.
