Pecan Pie Bars
Pecan Pie Bars | The same great ingredients from your favorite pie transformed into a bite size bar! These bars are perfect for when you want to try everything at the dessert bar. I like serving my desserts in mini form so my guests don’t have to choose which dessert to try…. they can have them all!
I used a special ingredient to make the dough for these bars. Cream Cheese! The addition of cream cheese adds another layer of flavor and makes for a nice tender dough. Simply the perfect hand held piece of pie!
