Pecan Pie Bars

From the kitchen of Terri Board

Pecan pie is a dish of the American South, built on the corn syrup and pecan harvests of the Gulf Coast states. Its migration north into Ohio — where it became a holiday staple in many families — happened gradually through the 20th century. Terri Board's bar version makes the rich filling more portable and shareable, the perfect adaptation for a church cookie exchange or family gathering.
