CARAMEL PECAN BARS
These delicious caramel pecan bars are only a few ingredients and absolutely delicious. Perfect for any potluck or gathering! My family loves these and they are so simple to prepare. Similar to layer bars, but with a few different ingredients. Definitely put these on your “must make” list!
Caramel Pecan Bars Ingredients Needed:
Vanilla wafers
Sugar
Butter
Sweetened condensed milk
Egg
Honey
Butterscotch chips
Pecans
Notes: You can easily switch out the chips for a different flavor. You could use walnuts instead of pecans. These can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator but I would recommend letting them sit out for a bit before serving.

This is one of my favorite recipes on your website! So easy and always a hit! I’ve taken these to so many events and always come home with an empty pan!
Could you use graham crackers instead ?
I think that would work just fine.
It says 1.5 cups ( 12 ounces) of crushed cookies, 12 ounces of crushed is more then a cup and a half. Do you use the hike box or just a cup an a half?
Don’t make this harder than it is, just use about a cup and half of crushed cookies. It’s not going to mess up the recipe if you use more.
These were amazing!!!!! So easy and delicious! Thank you for sharing.
