These bars are good for snacking when you're on the road or for taking to gatherings. They're different from ordinary dessert bars...if you love pecan pie, you'll likely find them irresistible! —Sylvia Ford Kennett, Missouri

Great tasting, but didn't set up very well for me so they were gooey. Still good enough though that I'll make again and hopefully they'll set up next time.

This was wonderful. A co worker made these for the office. All the ladies LOVED them. They are buttery, nutty and just plain wonderful. Tastes like pecan pie without too much filling gooey filling. Definitely a winner.
