If you like pecan pie, you will enjoy these easy Pecan Squares. They’re sweet, sticky bar cookies with all the traditional flavors of pecan pie!
Here’s a really easy recipe for Pecan Squares, or as a lot of people call them, Pecan Pie Bars. I love to bake these delicious treats during the Holidays.
If you like pecan pie, you will love these Pecan Squares. It’s just that simple! These bars are perfect for taking to a party (if you’re the “designated dessert-bringer”). These pecan squares are equally good sitting out on the kitchen counter to snack on!
Another option for these sweet dessert bars is to be devoured by hordes of ravenously hungry houseguests, OR to give to friends on a platter of holiday goodies. My fun thing to do is give plates of Christmas goodies to our neighbors, with a few of these bars included!

If you like pecan pie, you will enjoy these easy Pecan Squares. They're sweet, sticky bar cookies with all the traditional flavors of pecan pie!
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter , softened
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups light or dark corn syrup
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons butter , melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips , melted (to drizzle on top of finished bars, if desired)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, butter and salt until the mixture turns into coarse crumbs. Press the crumbs firmly (and evenly) into a greased 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan. Bake crust at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven when done.
While crust is baking, prepare the pecan filling: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract, until well combined. Stir in the chopped pecans. Spread the pecan filling evenly over the top of the baked (hot) crust.
Bake bars at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until they are "set" in the middle. Remove pan from oven and cool on a wire rack. Drizzle cooled bars with melted chocolate, if desired. Once bars are completely cooled, cut into 4 dozen bars, and serve!
Caloric calculation was made without the (optional) semi-sweet chocolate chips used for drizzling over finished bars.
