Pecan Pie Bars

For the month of October we are celebrating birthdays for our John L. Scott Bothell and Mukilteo real estate brokers! Our birthday pick this month is Pecan Pie Bars!

These delicious bars are super moist, loaded with a chewy pecan filling on a buttery shortbread crust, and tastes just like grandma’s southern pecan pie.

If you love pecan pie then these pecan pie bars are definitely the best and a delicious dessert that always gets rave reviews.
