Mmm. I have friends who own a retail pecan orchard and they ship all over the world. (B&B Pecans, Fairhope) they always tell me how healthy pecans are so I look for new ways to use them. – this is a goodie, for sure!
These are delicious and easy, plus now nutritious too!
These both look so good, I know I’ll have to try them. I love pecans and that kind of flavor!
So easy too!
Oh wow– you really know how to tempt a person. Being a natural born Georgia Gal I love pecans–we have our share over here. And you are right, you temptress you, why not bake both! And I think I shall. Am having my 60th high school reunion in October, a friend of 73 years is coming–this and a great cup of coffee will be just the thing to munch on while we talk into the wee hours like we used to. Thanks, Jenna–I will gain a bit more, but thanks! Shelia, Georgia Gal
Thanks Shelia, sounds like good times!
Oh boy! These look so good! I will be baking them soon!
Thanks Nancy!
Jenna, I have to try these. They look delicious either way! I know Butch and my DIL would love them. Thanks for sharing wonderful recipes. I hope you are having a good day!
Thank you Pam, easy on the cook too 🙂
I’m sure the “plain” bars are good, but the chocolate would raise this treat to the next level!
Thank you Linda, everything is better with chocolate, right?
thanks Jenna…these look yummy. Have a great and wonderful week. take care of yourself 🙏🏻🥰. Kari @ Me and My Captain
Dangerously easy !!
Jenna, those look so delicious and yummy. Happy weekend.
Thank you Linda!
Gooey, nutty, and oh-so-good pecan perfection!
In other words, dangerous!
They both look so good Jenna! ♥
Dangerous 😊
They both look yummy Jenna, but the melted chocolate chips on top with a sprinkle of salt sounds absolutely decadent. Salt and chocolate are two weaknesses here lol. I hope you are doing well down there!
Thanks Kim, sweet & salty are my weakness!
I’ve made pecan bars, Jenna, but never used crescent roll dough as the crust. Both recipes look so goo, and it would be hard to choose, so I’d take one of each, please!
Oh Kitty, I use it for the crust for so many different sweet and savory treats, it works like a dream!
