These pecan bars are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. I love the way the pecans add a little bit of crunch to the bars. They're also really moist and have a great texture.

These pecan bars are the perfect make-ahead dessert. I can make them the day before and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them. They're always a crowd-pleaser.
