How long do pecan pie bars last? How to store pecan pie bars?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, then (if needed) transfer to the fridge for another 2 days.

‍

Can pecan pie bars be frozen?

Pecan pie bars are one of the many holiday desserts that freezes beautifully! I recommend slicing them into bars, then placing in a freezer-safe ziplock bag. If stacking them in layers, add parchment paper in-between the layers to keep them from sticking to each other. You also want to remove as much air as possible. They stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Ingredients

Servings: 16

For the Shortbread Layer:

1/2 cup Cold Unsalted Butter, cubed (1 stick)
1/4 cup Confectioners Sugar
1 cup All Purpose Flour
1/4 tsp. Fine Sea Salt

For the Caramel Pecan Layer:

3 large Eggs
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Honey, or Maple Syrup
5 tbsp. Flour
2 tbsp. Heavy Cream
1 1/2 cups Roasted Pecans, coarsely chopped

Instructions

For the Shortbread Layer:

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x9" baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Beat the confectioners sugar and cold butter until smooth.
Add the flour and sea salt. Mix until crumb-like texture. Press the shortbread dough into the prepared pan until an even layer.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges. In the meantime, make the caramel pecan layer.

For the Caramel Pecan Layer:

Beat the brown sugar, eggs, and honey together for 2 minutes, until creamy.
Add the flour and heavy cream. Whisk for 1 more minute.
Stir in the chopped pecans.
While the crust is still hot, gently pour the caramel pecan filling on top.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, until filling is set but the center is slightly jiggly (like a cheesecake).
Remove from the oven to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour before slicing. Enjoy!
