I’m not going to waste a special treat on something that isn’t delicious. A bite of a Butterscotch Pecan Bars with Brown Sugar Drizzle is a great treat!
Even though I post a lot of yummy dessert recipes, we usually limit them to Sundays. On Sunday John and I make a special meal together and finish it with a sweet treat. After a serving or two, we share the rest. These Butterscotch Pecan Bars with Brown Sugar Drizzle definitely earned the “Sunday Special” designation.
When I make something and it doesn’t deserve that “special” designation, I’ll remake it or scrap the entire thing and you won’t see them here on Hostess At Heart.
I always want to hit it the first time around because I hate wasting food and ingredients. I’ve tried a few recipes on the world wide web, and sometimes they’re amazing and other times they just aren’t very good in my opinion. That always disappointing (sad face inserted here).
Most of our favorites usually start and end in chocolate and John and I don’t always like nuts. We’re not in love with nuts in brownies and a few other recipes but when it comes to pecans as one of the star ingredients you can sign both of us up.
These Butterscotch Pecan Bars are so easy to put together and deserve the “Sunday Special” designation. They make an 8″ square pan so you don’t have so darned much that it’s hard to get rid of.
Don’t have time to make it now? Pin it for later!
Now I have to fess up, we enjoyed (demolished) this special treat until every last crumb was gone. Hey, that’s what the gym is for right?
As much as we enjoyed these Butterscotch Pecan Bars, here are a few more treats perfect any day or occasion!

I was looking for a recipe that was easy and this one was the winner. Our family loved it and I’ve made it several times since.
These look great. But, what about the brown sugar drizzle? How did you make that? Did I miss the instructions for that somewhere?
Oh heavens, Heather, I was sleeping on the job! Thank you for letting me know that we forgot that drizzle! I’ve updated it and hope you’ll give them a try!
You bet! Thanks for clarifying that for me! Have a good weekend & stay warm!
Thank you Denise! You too!
Could you clarify the flour measurement? It says 1 cup flour 1/4. I’m thinking maybe th 1/4 goes on the next line (salt). Thank you!
Oh heavens Denise, where would I be without you guys proofing for me. Indeed it’s 1 cup of flour and the 1/4 is for the salt. I’m correcting it right away and thank you for helping me out!.
Oooo you’ve really come up with some great “bar type recipes”, squares, or whatever else you wanna call them 🙂 I’m in my baking phase right now, as I’m sure you are. I’d love to make at least one of the “bars” that you’ve been recently posting. However, I’d like to freeze them as I have so much cooking and baking to do at the moment. How do you think they would freeze Julie?
Happy Holidays Loretta! I’m getting so excited to have my kids here this weekend. You could definitely freeze any of these bars. I would remove them from the pan and double wrap them in plastic then foil. That’s what I do with my extra bread and it works really well. Enjoy yourself and let me know what you decide to make.
I can barely even handle how amazing this looks! All my favorites in one recipe – I’m drooling!! 😀
Thank you, Annie! You’re so darned sweet!
Absolutely in love with these
Thank you so much, Sonal!
