When I take this crowd-pleasing treat to a potluck, I come home with an empty pan every time. Cooking and baking come naturally for me - as a farm girl, I helped my mother feed my 10 siblings. -Jeannette Nord, San Juan Capistrano, California

I have made this recipes for years and it is wonderful. However, it causes people to do these crazy things such as: take two pieces right away with no regard if someone does not get any .Happens all the time.

As you can see, I already posted a comment on this recipe but just had to add this..since my family loved it so well I decided to make this into a pie for a pie contest I entered at church....and it won first place!! All I did different was not use all of the crust in the pie plate, it would have been to thick, and I doubled the recipe for the filling...it makes a beautiful pie!

My niece brought these bars to Thanksgiving this week. It was the best dessert there, and my favorite dessert is pumpkin pie! I had to come grab this recipe. I will DEFINATELY be making this one and told her to please make it a regular at family gatherings! YUM..wish I had another piece right now! =)

Crust was too thick, looked at similar recipes and will use 1 c flour for a 9X13 pan and keep other ingredients the same. Fresh pears are best but microwave them in a little water for a few minutes until slightly tender or use very ripe pears.

since I have four growing boys I knew right away I'd have to double the recipe..and I'm glad I did! These are delish!! Next time I want to use fresh pears though...just because I love cooking with fresh ingredients! Also, I used walnuts in the crust since I didn't have macadamias...it was still awesome! Will make again..and again...and again!! :)

These are defiantly yummy! The only thing I would change would be to use fresh very ripe pears instead of canned pears! I didn't mind the canned pears but you can defiantly taste the difference between a can and fresh!

Took this to a family BBQ and everyone raved over it. My husband suggested more custard, so next time I'm going to try doubling it in a 9 x 13 pan.
