Notes
If you like chocolate pecan pie, you could toss some chocolate chips into the filling for these pie bars. It would be delicious!
You can make these up to two days in advance and keep them in the refrigerator. I like to let them sit out at room temperature before I serve them so they’re not too cold.
If you have leftover bars keep them in an airtight container and they will keep for several days in the refrigerator!
