Pin This RecipeThis is my new go-to recipe for pecan bars. These pecan bars are unique in that the crust is made from a can of refrigerated crescent rolls. These bars tasted just as good, if not better, than our usual pecan pie and were much easier to make. That is a win in my book! The bars don’t have a ton of filling, so they are more like a pecan pie brittle. That is perfectly fine with me. I am not a huge fan of the gooey filling, so these bars are right up my alley.
To make the bars, press a can of crescent rolls into the bottom of a cake pan or baking dish. Whisk together sugar, corn syrup, egg, vanilla, and chopped pecans. Pour the pecan pie filling over the crescent rolls and bake.
- I used light Karo corn syrup.
- You can use low-fat crescent rolls or crescent sheet dough.
- Can add some chocolate chips to the filling.
- Store the bars at room temperature in an air-tight container.
- The bars will keep 3 to 4 days.

Well yum!
Darlene – they are easy & super delicious! Hope you like them!
Wow, yum, yum.
Hi, found your blog on Pinterest. I am repinning. This recipe looks easy enough that I just might have to try it. LOL
I made these and accidentally forgot to bake just the crescent roll crust before baking it all together 🙁
The topping seeped into the bottom, and it cooked up very gooey. I cranked up the oven and put foil on top to hopefully bake the crust much more than the topping, but it still came out very gooey.
On the bright side, it tasted delicious! We have to eat it with a fork, but it still tastes like pecan pie. Yum!
Next time I will get it right!
Made these yesterday. Very easy and good! Plan to keep this recipe as a favorite. My husband was wanting a pecan pie this weekend, I made the Kentucky Derby one the first night, but he didn't like the chocolate. He requested more of this one, said it curbed his pecan craving and tasting like a pie.
Karen – Thanks! There seems to be a lot of this going around on Facebook. Thanks so much for letting me know!
Debi – I used unsalted butter
Would it matter if you used unsalted butter?
Bonnie – I have no problem getting one can of crescent rolls to fit in a 9×13 inch pan. It actually fits perfectly. Hope you give it a try. The pecan bars are great.
How can you possibly get on package of crescent rolls to cover a 9 x 13 pan?
Jessica – these can be made a day ahead of eating. They will keep several days
Are they good to make ahead or day of?
Kristine – I'm so excited to hear you loved the pecan bars!!
These are awesome! Just made them today for Thanksgiving and they were the hit of our dinner! I used over a cup of pecans and could have used more. I also bought the sheet of crescent roll dough so there were no perforations. Super easy and super good!
These were sooo good. The only problem (well since a very few are left it wasn't a big problem) I had was that they were kind of soft. The edge pieces seemed to be fine but the others weren't terribly firm.
I can't wait to try these…they look good & easy! Yay! Thanks for the recipe..~betty
