I talk about how much I am ready for winter to be over a lot but you can’t blame me when I’m stuck at home again because of another blizzard. On cold days I tend to cook; lucky for my family. Today I strapped on my apron to whip up a batch of one of my cozy desserts. Immediately I thought of a crumble dessert but wanted a pecan twist this week because I love me some pecans, Candied Pecans are to die for, but today I went with more of a coffee and tea dessert with these Chocolate Jam Pecan Bars.
National Pecan day is coming up March 25th and April 14th; I’m not sure why exactly there are two dates BUT even more reason to get your pecan bake on.What are your favourite pecan desserts?
Curiosity always gets the best of me; do you say Pee-CAN or Pee-CAWN?

Those looks so so so delicious! I’m not the biggest fan of jam, but I can imagine replacing that with peanut butter or a chocolate spread. Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks Anne. These are really good, if I do say so. lol Honestly they are and sweet enough that you probably don’t need the chocolate chips on top but really, who doesn’t like chocolate on everything?!
