Vegan Dark Chocolate Pecan Bars


I love bars of any kind. I've been wanting to make some recently so I figured Pecan Bars would be good! These were delicious and irresistible. They're unbelievably easy to make! Have fun and hope you like!

What you need:

Crust:
1 cup white flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cold vegan butter

Pecan Filling:
1/4 cup vegan butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon almond milk
1 cup whole pecans

1/4 cup dark chocolate

What to do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the crust: Mix flour sugar. Cut in the cold butter until mixture is crumbly.
In a smaller, lightly greased baking pan press the mixture in.
Bake for about 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and set aside.


For the Pecan Filling: In a medium sauce and on medium heat pan melt the butter. Stir in the maple syrup, sugar, vanilla, and almond milk. Remove from heat and stir in the pecans.


Pour the pecan mixture over the pre-baked crust.
Bake for 20 minutes. 
Melt the dark chocolate and drizzle over cooked pecan bars.
Cook completely, if you can resist!
