Ready for Some Baking?


I received this picture and recipe from
Gooseberry Patch...and now I am hungry! :)
I love pecan pie, so these little gems will be perfect during the Thanksgiving season, the Christmas season, for birthdays, for anniversaries, for church socials, for...

Happy Wednesday!



Pecan Pie Bars
Wonderful little pecan pie bars you can't stop eating! Great for a church social or holiday cookie exchange.

1-1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. plus 3 T. brown sugar, packed and divided
1/2 c. plus 2 T. butter, divided
2 eggs
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1 t. vanilla extract
1/2 c. chopped pecans

Combine flour with 3 tablespoons brown sugar; cut in 1/2 cup butter until coarse crumbs form. Press into a lightly greased 11"x7" baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. While crust is baking, beat eggs in a large bowl and add remaining brown sugar, 2 tablespoons melted butter, corn syrup and vanilla. Blend in pecans and pour mixture into hot crust. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool and cut into bars. Makes 2 dozen.

I would imagine that you would enjoy them – maybe you can give them a try sometime.
That pumpkin dessert last night was pretty good!
I hope you are having a great day!

These look so good. My husband also makes these roasted pecans with butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Yum!

Thanks for your sweet words today on my blog.

I just tried the recipe. It was hard making the crust spread out to the 11x17 pan and because it was so thin, it burned before the 20 min bake time. Should it be a 9x13 pan instead?

Miss Debbie said...

Me again! Yep, it is definitely 9x13. I just ate one...good!!
