Target’s Adorable Christmas Decorations Make Me Want To Deck The Halls ASAP

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving that typically signifies the start of holiday shopping season, though many retailers have started to launch their Black Friday deals earlier year over year. A lot of the deals that stores and brands offer during Black Friday outpace their other sales events (such as Memorial Day and Labor Day) in terms of savings.

When is Black Friday 2024?

Black Friday will land on November 29, 2024.

What is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving that highlights savings and deals online as opposed to in-store offers. It's one of the busiest times of year for online shopping.

When is Cyber Monday 2024?

Cyber Monday will land on December 2, 2024.

When's the best time to shop for holiday gifts?

We're big believers that it's never too early to start shopping for holiday gifts. The sooner you shop, the better, so you can check everyone off your list ahead of the busy holiday season and have some peace of mind once the real festivities start! Plus, if you're shopping online, starting early gives you ample time to wait for items to be shipped and delivered to your door. If deals and savings are what you're looking for, Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer some really great opportunities.

What's the best thing to shop for during Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

The best thing to shop for during Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday promotions really depends on what your needs are as well as the items you're scoping out to treat yourself (or the people you're gifting for the holidays). Typically, big-ticket items like home appliances, tech products like earbuds, laptops, TVs, and tablets, and luxury self-care tools are heavily discounted during this time.

Ingredients For Easy Pecan Pie Bars

For the shortbread crust:

• ½ cup butter
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon cornstarch

For the pecan pie filling:

• 2 eggs
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup light corn syrup
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 & ½ cup pecans chopped

How To Make Easy Pecan Pie Bars

1. Preheat the oven to 325 F, then line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, add in the flour, salt, cornstarch, and mix. Add in the cold butter and work it into the dough with your hand or a pastry cutter until cookie dough forms. Press it onto the prepared baking pan and bake for 20 minutes.
3. In a separate large bowl, mix the eggs, brown sugar, light corn syrup, heavy cream, salt, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until combined. Stir in the pecan pieces.
4. Once the crust is done baking, pour the pecan pie filling on top of the crust and bake for 30-35 minutes. The edges will brown a little, and the center will be barely jiggly.
5. Remove from the oven, and let cool completely before transferring to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Slice the bars and serve.
