About Pecan squares

Pecan Squares are a decadent dessert originating from Southern U.S. cuisine, often associated with classic pecan pie flavors but in a convenient bar form. These squares typically feature a buttery shortbread crust topped with a rich layer of pecans bound together by a mixture of sugar, butter, and eggs, often including vanilla and corn syrup for sweetness and texture. Packed with pecans, they provide a good source of healthy fats, fiber, and essential nutrients such as magnesium and vitamin E. However, they are also high in sugar, butter, and calories, making them a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Whether served at holiday gatherings or enjoyed with coffee, Pecan Squares offer a delicious blend of crunch and caramelized sweetness, showcasing the nutty richness that's a hallmark of Southern sweets.
