My husband’s favorite dessert is pecan pie and mine is …well…anything chocolate! Many of you love my Homemade Brownies recipe, so I know you’ll love these Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars from Stephanie Brubaker’s book Brownies Blondies and Bars! Truly, they are incredible! Loaded full of pecans and chocolate, delish!

Stephanie’s book is one of those that is dog-eared from front to back because it has so many amazing recipes. I’m so excited that she’s letting me share this sample recipe! You can buy her book on Amazon here (it makes a great gift for baking lovers too). 

Stephanie’s Blog Back For Seconds is one of my favorites. She posts the most amazing, decadent treats, you definitely will want to check it out!

A few of my other favorite recipes from the book include Toasted Coconut Lime Cheesecake Bars, Snickerdoodle Blondies, and Funfetti Cream Cheese Bars! This book is fantastic if you’re always signing up to take baked goods to bake sales, birthday parties, office parties, or just have a major baking hobby like I do! You have to try the Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars too! They’re SO GOOD!

Being from the South, we love our pecan pie so chocolate just takes it over the top. Ooey gooey and crunchy in all the right places. Plus, loads of chocolate flavor. Who doesn’t love that? I also think bar desserts are so great to make because you can cut them into whatever size you prefer.

These bars would be a perfect addition to a Derby party because they remind me of the pie we enjoy watching during the races! Mental note for this year’s horse races! Now on to the recipe….
