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.

mmm over the past few years, pecan pie has become a favorite of mine. I bet that I'd love these!!
Oooh! I love the idea of using the cinnamon pecans in this! Definitely kicks it up a notch.
What do you do with the half cup of pecans?
It should have said use all the chopped pecans – they go in with the rest of them. I corrected it. Thanks!
OH MY! I will have to make this!
This sounds sickeningly sweet and I will have to make it tonight for dessert. Glad I have all those ingredients on hand.
