Hi Elisia, You can freeze these bars. We would suggest lining the pan with aluminum foil before baking, and once they are cooled, remove and wrap in plastic food wrap. You can freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, let thaw at room temperature. Happy baking!

Yum! If you like pecan pie but don't want to spend a lot of time to prepare it-here is the answer. Quick, easy and yummy. Some of my family couldn't wait for the event we were getting ready to serve them at.
