WARNING: This recipe for Maple Pecan Pie bars is seriously addictive. If you find yourself eating the whole tray don’t say I didn’t warn you. Not that I’ve done that or anything…
Warm brown sugar and maple make this for a perfect fall or holiday recipe. I personally think you should take a trip or at least order Maple Syrup from Vermont, but if you’re not that dedicated then regular pancake syrup will do. I also sprinkled with chocolate chips while still warm.
Dessert can never be too sweet in my mind. These Maple Pecan Pie Bars are chewy, delicious and a lot easier to make than you would think. A great dessert to make ahead and bring along or make for the week.
A few tips: You can keep your pecans as chopped or whole as you like but the more you chop them, the easier these will be to cut. Ensure these are cooled completely before you cut into squares.
It will be tempting, they will smell so good, but they won’t cut well if they are not completely cooled!
