My nana calls these her “Lazy” bars as they are what she makes when she wants something tasty but doesn’t want to do a whole lotta work!
Save this dish for later!
Who says you have to spend hours in the kitchen to create a dessert that steals the show? Not you! For a classic Southern pecan pie experience without the hassle of making your own crust, try these Lazy Pecan Pie Bars. Inspired by the traditional pecan pie, these bars are simpler to make but taste just as heavenly as the original. Picture this: a buttery shortbread crust that melts in your mouth, topped with a rich, pecan-packed, gooey filling. Take them to your next family gathering or picnic and watch them disappear!
These pecan pie bars are already divine, but serve them with vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat! For a truly indulgent experience, top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. If you prefer a relaxing afternoon delight, pair with a steaming cup of tea or coffee.
