This Pecan Pie bar recipe is a fun take on a traditional pecan pie and a crowd favorite!
Today I’m excited to share with you a recipe that’s been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. My mom used to make these all of the time when I was younger and now I enjoy making them for my family.
I’ve also got a little Christmas Treat Packaging tip to share with you, so keep reading until the end.
Back when I was a kid, my Mom used to bake up a storm for the Holidays. Most of the time the treats were for “other people” but these Pecan Pie bars were always something that I got to “sample”. My mom would cut the squares out of the pan and I’d get to eat the slivers of pie left around the edges. I looked forward to it every year!
Now as an adult I love to make these bars. I have a few friends that BEG for me to bring them to our parties.

I’ve got one last gift-giving tip for you!
A few years ago I ordered a custom stamp that said: “Just for you from the Mortenson’s”. It’s come in very handy packaging up our treats each Holiday!
Most times I just stamp it onto premade tags. Easy Peasy.

What are Heath Chips? Where would you get them?
They are toffee chips. You can usually find them in the baking section next to the chocolate chips.
