I’ve been in a pecan mood here lately with all the talk of Collin Street Bakery‘s Deep Dish Pecan Pie last week and my Pecan Cinnamon Roll Bites I made the other week. It has had me hankering for pecan pie and having an abundance of pecans on hand I am in luck.
While I don’t have everything to whip up a pecan pie today I do have everything for my scrumptious Caramel Pecan Pie Bars. Rather than making a crust like Betty Crocker’s Pecan Pie Bars we do the simple thing and thank Pillsbury. It’s ingenious really, using Pillsbury Crescents dough for the crust. I almost always have some of that on hand.
To make my Caramel Pecan Pie Bars I pretty much just follow the recipe to my Caramel Pecan Pie and just adjust the quantity of the ingredients to compensate for the 9 x 13 baking dish with a thin crust. It turns out wonderful and you can eat it on the go! No fork needed!!
A super easy and delicious way to have your pecan pie fix without a fork!
