Pecan Sandie Bars

These Pecan Sandie Bars are the classic cookie in bar form! They’re buttery and rich and loaded with pecans.

Ok, I’m just gonna get it out there….when it comes to pecans I just can’t help myself! I admit it, I have a serious addiction! The smell of this classic nut toasting in my oven gets me every time. My love affair with pecans started my freshman year of college (Parents Weekend to be exact) when my good friend’s Dad (Mr. Haedrich you know who you are) talked me into trying my first ever piece of pecan pie topped with fresh whipped cream for dessert. I do have to say I was somewhat skeptical, but it was over at first bite…I was hooked!

Pecan Sandie Bars

Now that the cold days of winter are upon us these rich, buttery pecan sandie bars are the perfect companion for that nice steaming hot cup of coffee or tea that we will be needing. Toasting the pecans adds a whole nother level of flavor to these comforting cookies and adding the little drizzle of chocolate just seals the deal!

Don’t feel guilty about eating more than one in a sitting. Remember….pecans LOVE us and want us to be HAPPY!!!
