If you are a fan of Pecan Pie, you might think that the next best thing is Pecan Pie Bars. The crust is so easy to make, and then all you do is pour a pecan pie like filling on top and bake for 25 minutes. How easy is that? These were such a huge hit at our church Life Group Christmas Party that I included them in my Christmas gift boxes.
