Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line your baking dish with parchment paper. I use an 8 x 8 because I find that to be a perfect size. Spray with cooking spray and set aside.

For gooey bars. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing. This will allow it time to become a little softer again.

There are 511 calories per square. So what, it’s Christmas. But seriously you can cut into 12 or even 16 bars, and please remember there is a lot of nuts involved in the recipe which are high in fat and calories, that are good for you! Not all calories are created equal.

You’ll know they are done when they are no longer soupy. They should be firm, although a slight jiggle in the centre is fine, as they will continue to set once chilled. Overall, you’re looking for a firm finish, with little to no movement when shaken.

You may have heard the term weeping when talking about meringue pies, but did you know weeping can also be used to describe a runny pecan pie? It’s what happens when the pie is undercooked. Keep an eye on it, and be sure to give it a gentle shake before deciding whether to take it out.

There are certain recipes that I feel should not be seasonal- Pecan pie is one of them. When I think about Thanksgiving and Christmas, I ALWAYS have pecan pie on my mind. It’s my all-time favorite desserts and every single time I make it, I question myself why I only make it several times a year!
