Gooey Pecan Bars

"These pecan bars are a Southern favorite featuring a buttery shortbread crust, rich brown sugar-pecan topping, and a sprinkle of flake sea salt. Perfect for make-ahead entertaining or gifting, they’re easy to bake, slice, and share with friends and family. If you enjoy the taste of classic pecan pie but want something easier, these pecan bars are your new go-to treat. Growing up in Georgia, pecan pie was always a given at our holiday table, but over time, I discovered something even better, which are these Southern pecan pie bars. "
