For a deeper bourbon flavor, consider using a bourbon-infused sugar. Toasting the coconut and pecans before adding them to the filling enhances their flavor and texture. Toast them in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. Store the pecan bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
