Here's a different way to enjoy pecan pie!
Do you LOVE pecan pie, but want to try something different this year? Then you will absolutely adore this chocolate pecan pie bars recipe. In some ways, it's more crowd-friendly than a regular pecan pie because it makes 16 servings. It would take at least two pies to feed that many people. However, one thing that remains the same is the incredible flavor with a little extra goodness thanks to the chocolate. There's just so much yum in each and every bite.
This is a two-part recipe that focuses on the crust and the filling. You'll notice that both parts require basic ingredients. We're able to keep it low carb friendly by using powdered erythritol and stevia-sweetened chocolate chips. It may be hard for your guests to believe–but there's absolutely no sugar added! You still get all of that delicious sweetness without the unnecessary calories or carbs. That's what we're talking about!
You'll also notice there is absolutely no white flour. Instead, we'll be using almond flour to cut the carbs and still get that texture we need. When it comes to the keto diet, it's all about making minor adjustments to your favorite recipes. You won't miss a thing!
How easy is this recipe? Very. It takes about 30 minutes of prep which is clearly outlined in the recipe. Simply combine the ingredients to make the crust and then press it to the bottom of the pan Next, add the filling and finally top it off with the chocolate chips and pecans. It's so good!
This holiday season simply won't be complete without the perfect dessert on the table. Add this to the lineup to get in the true holiday spirit. Nobody can turn this delicious treat. And why would they? It's too tasty to pass up!
