Tips:

  • Use a dark baking dish. This will help the bars bake evenly and give them a nice, crispy crust.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Press the pecans into the batter before baking. This will help them stay in place and give the bars a nice, nutty flavor.
  • Bake the bars until the center is just set. Overbaking will make the bars dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Fudgy pecan pie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They're rich, chocolatey, and have a gooey pecan filling. Plus, they're easy to make and can be stored for several days, making them a great option for busy families.
