his rich and sweet dessert is perfect not only for Thanksgiving but also for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or any other holiday or celebration. Made with simple, unprocessed ingredients, these bars are a pecan pie lover’s dream. They’re ooey-gooey and so delicious, you’ll be licking your fingers. Hope you enjoy them and happy 1st of December!

I made this dessert twice – the first time I used mostly honey and some maple syrup for the pecan topping and it turned out amazing. The second time, I used only maple syrup and it was too runny, so I don’t recommend substituting honey with maple syrup in this recipe.

    Wow! I’m almost licking my screen! Those look amazing…and healthy!?!? What’s not to love! I’m thinking they would be perfect for my goodie Christmas baskets this year!

    These looks so rich and wonderful! It reminds me of my Mom’s pecan pie recipe (minus the Karo), which is one of my husband’s favorites. I’ll have to try these out on him, as they’re much healthier!

    Brilliant combo. Just the sort of thing I am looking for to treat guests to at Christmas.

  7. Alisa @ Go Dairy Free says:

    Yum! These look so much better than pecan pie! I love the blend of sweeteners (can taste it now) and bet this would work perfectly as dairy-free paleo with coconut oil, too!

  8. Monique @ Ambitious Kitchen says:

    These just look too amazing! LOVE.

  9. Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says:
