These Gooey Pecan Bars should come with a warning label. They are dangerously good! They are over-the-top good topped with vanilla ice cream!

These Gooey Pecan Bars start similar to Gooey Butter Cakes, but the topping is basically a pecan pie filling. I wrote the recipe to include cinnamon in the batter.

  1. mmm over the past few years, pecan pie has become a favorite of mine. I bet that I'd love these!!

    1. It should have said use all the chopped pecans – they go in with the rest of them. I corrected it. Thanks!

  2. This sounds sickeningly sweet and I will have to make it tonight for dessert. Glad I have all those ingredients on hand.
