Description

I love to cook large quantities and do most of the cooking for our church functions. People seem to enjoy these scrumptious bars even more than pecan pie. —Clara Honeyager, North Prairie, Wisconsin

Halved the recipe. Came out quite well. I used baking Pam in my non-stick broiler pan and when it was done the whole thing lifted off in one piece. Made cutting super easy. Delicious.Might add a bit of extra butter to the crust next time. Hubby loved them!

These were delicious! The family loved them. I halved the recipe.

This was a big hit for my gathering, I did half the recipe it made plenty and froze some for the next time. I make pecan tarts which is a lot of work this recipe is just as good and much easier.

These bars are awesome! My 83 yr. old mother loves pecan pie and these bars satisfied that craving. I even got my 30 yr. old nephew hooked on them! As someone suggested, I used 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar, no other changes. Yes, they freeze well, I froze them, and pulled out several at a time to eat, or the whole thing would have been gone too soon.

Can you freeze them?

Sounds great.Love pecan pie and these bars sound just as good.I halved the recipe which waseasy for once(wish more of these large amount recipes were halved for we folks with small families

These bars are delicious and a lot easier than traditional pecan pie to eat at a potluck. I used half light corn syrup and half dark; next time, Id like to try all dark syrup to see if it gives it a richer taste. Although the recipe says to pat the crust on the bottom and sides of the pan, I only put the crust on the bottom and it worked just fine. Word of warning- it bubbled over in the oven, set a foil-lined pan underneath to catch drips!

We loved it!!

Delicious, freezes well

I made a half recipe- just the right amount of crust to filling. The freeze well too
