Is there even anything I need to say or is this picture self explanatory? If you love pecan pie and love chocolate. Than these bars are for you. Gooey, chocolaty, heaven. Really I don’t think a pecan pie is complete if it doesn’t have chocolate. It just add a little something, extra special.
These are pretty easy to throw together to make for a painless Thanksgiving dessert. Personally I prefer bars to pie because they are easier to eat and result in less cleanup. You don’t need a plate and fork to eat Pecan Pie bars, just hand your guest a bar on a napkin.
