These are the best ever Pecan Squares. Made without corn syrup and with whole wheat, these are healthier than your average pecan squares.

So I walked into a Whole Foods Market for the first time in my life the other day.

I know, right? What is wrong with me? It made my heart jump for joy at seeing all the produce and products they have! All those ingredients on my grocery list that I have been searching far and wide for are in this one convenient store. How handy!

While strolling through the bakery, I saw their giant baked goods, all of which made my mouth water. That is where I saw the most drool-worthy pecan squares I have ever seen. I knew right there and then that I needed to recreate them at home.

After making these pecan squares, I don't know if I'd ever want another dessert in my life. These were so good, that when I tried hiding them from myself in the fridge, I would end up walking over there without thinking to grab another square.

You'd think I would regret making these a week before I'm going to Mexico where I will be in a swim suit pretty much 24/7, but these were too good for me to care. Bikinis be damned, just pass me another pecan square!

These Pecan squares look mouth watering. Would love to try one with a cup of chilled coffee.
Have a great holiday!

Love pecan squares! These look tasty!

Yay for having your first Whole Foods experience!! It's the best, isn't it?

These pecan squares look amazing! Bites of nutty caramelly heaven.

These pecan squares would not be allowed in my house! I would sit there and eat them until they were all gone. Your trip to Whole Foods sounds like mine to Trader's Joe. My first trip was last year. 🙂

Catherine, these are one of my favorite bar cookies. I make them every year around Thanksgiving instead of pecan pie. they are better than whole Foods!
