THM Pecan Pie Bars {THM:S}

0 Flares Filament.io 0 Flares ×

I enjoy good food.

I'm not a McDonalds, or even Arby's kind of girl (except for their Mozzarella sticks, but lets face it: fried cheese is good just about anywhere).

I'm not even a Chili's or Applebee's kind of girl.

When it comes down to it, I love good food.

To me, the holidays scream good food, sweets, treats, and family – and no holiday would be complete without Pecan Pie.

Since I'm a Trim Healthy Mama, traditional pecan pie is out, but that doesn't meant I have to be deprived.  With a little creativity, some internet research, and a bit of trial and error I was able to combine chocolate and pecan pie into a THM S Pecan Pie Bar that is truly delectable.

    So….did I miss something? Where’s the chocolate come in? I don’t see it listed as an ingredient but it’s in the recipe name. I want to make these but don’t want them to be a huge flop. Thanks 😉

      I was wondering the same thing about the chocolate. I also wonder what size pan to press my crust into. It would also be helpful to have the crust part listed. Does the crust have to be pre-baked before we add the pecans (& maybe chocolate chips), caramel sauce & filling on top?
