Notes:
Time saving tips: Use a food processor to chop the pecans. Skip toasting them if you’re in a big rush. Toasting them in a frying pan is faster than using the oven. To toast in the oven, heat to 325 F, place on a tray and bake for 15 minutes, stirring in between. Money saving tips: Use peanut butter and peanuts or almonds instead of pecans. Also, you can substitute honey for maple syrup. Make your own almond meal or flour by putting about 1 cup of almonds into a food processor. Pulse until nice and fine. Measure the almond meal before starting to ensure you have a proper 1/2 cup.

In a 9x9 pan lined with parchment paper, press the mixture into the pan. Place in the freezer and chill for 15-30 minutes (you could sneak them out in 15 if your freezer is really cold).
