These chewy Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars are the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table this year. If you like Pecan pie, you will absolutely love these delectable Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars.

Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

I don’t know about you, but when I make a holiday meal, whether it is Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas brunch, I want to ensure there is plenty to go around — not just at the meal itself, but to have as leftovers the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that.

That’s why I love desserts in bar form. I can double or even triple up the recipe and know there will be more than enough to go around. Serving up delicious Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars makes it easy for all my holiday guests to go back for seconds (and thirds) and storing them for later is a breeze.

Why You’ll Love Making Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

  • Combining the beloved holiday flavor of pecan pie with rich chocolate and a buttery shortbread crust makes for a truly delectable, indulgent and irresistible treat.
  • You can make them ahead and freeze. Make a batch (or two), then wrap well and and keep in the freezer for up to three months. Simply let them thaw in the fridge before serving.
  • To make an adults-only version of these  delicious bars, add 3-4 tablespoons of bourbon to the filling mixture.
