History of Pecan Pie Bars

The origins of pecan pie trace back to Southern kitchens, where pecans are abundant and have become a hallmark ingredient. Dating back to the early 20th century, pecan pie grew in popularity in the United States, particularly in Texas and surrounding states, where pecan trees flourish. Pecan pie bars, on the other hand, are a more modern creation, taking all the elements of the classic pie and transforming them into a portable dessert that’s ideal for potlucks, picnics, and parties. The bar format provides a perfect balance of crust to filling in each bite.
