Samara's Pecan Bar Recipe

"Mostly, they bring back childhood memories. They are super sticky, buttery, and delicious! I loved helping my Mom make large trays of these every year around the holidays. We'd wrap them in pretty bundles and walk around the neighborhood distributing them. We'd also bring them as gifts to holiday parties!"

- Samara, Head of Sales & Partnerships at Homemade
