Description: Recreating some of my favorite Disneyworld treats! Today we're making the Carrot cake whoopie pies from Hollywood Studios and the Caramel Pecan shortbread bars from the Germany pavilion at Epcot! _______________↓↓↓↓↓↓ CLICK TO GET MORE LINKS AND RECIPES ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ _______________ Subscribe to my channel youtube.com/ashleemariecakes?sub_confirmation=1 There isn't much better than Epcot for food. So picking just one to recreate to start with should be hard, but it isn't. These caramel shortbread bars with pecans were easily the top thing we eat every time we go to Epcot. Easy to recreate at home I still buy multiple bars every time. My mom loves carrot cake, it was her wedding cake in fact, but it's one I never really got into. BUT because I know how much she loves it I bought this large whoopie pie for her when we went to Walt Disney World back in 2017 and I fell in love with them too! Since then these cookies have had a chance at the park, thicker and narrower with less frosting. So I'll show you how to make both. CARAMEL PECAN SHORTBREAD BARS makes 12 bars SHORTBREAD 1 C butter softened 3/4 C packed light brown sugar 2 C all-purpose flour 1/2 C chopped pecans Preheat oven to 350F. In your mixer beat butter until fluffy. Add brown sugar and mix well. Add flour and mix - it will be crumbly Stir in pecans Spread into a 9x13 pan and press flat (use parchment paper overhanging on two sides to pull out later) Bake for 20-25 minutes, until shortbread is lightly browned all over.
