Chewy Pecan Pie Bars
This is one of my husband's favorite recipes, and he suggested I send it in. I've been making these pecan pie bars for many years. —Judy Taylor, Shreveport, Louisiana

Wonderful recipe and strongly tastes like pecan pie, hand held. My husband requested this back to back. The only change I made was using 1teaspoon vanilla extract and 1teaspoon almond extract. A definite keeper.
My review is question/comment ... I made with gluten free pastry flour which I have successfully used in the past added 1/2 cup mini-chips and 1/2 cup coconut & plan was to bake in a mini-muffin pans I always have great success with! Filled almost to the top (another VERY similar recipe suggestion) and that was too much; consequently they would not come out "whole"! I sprayed and put a bit of butter on the bottom of each prior to filling -- taste was wonderful! Ended up with muffin tops and "crumbs" which my husband added to his cereal -- so not a total waste of time! I'm going to attempt again maybe as a bar but use parchment paper to make for easier removal/clean-up!
ive made these 4 years/had lost the recipe/sadly they are a hit @ funerals
Ive fixed these numerous times and everyone loves them!
Easy recipe, but way too sweet for us. I doubt that I will be making these again. I don't know if the recipe would work with less sugar, but these were way too sweet.
These are superb! I had another recipe that called for waaay too much flour and was such a disappointment after making them. But this recipe is the one I'll make from here out.
I made them for a cookie exchange. Everybody LOVED them! My friend said they were better than chocolate!
Baked in a mini muffin tin for bite size treats how long did you bake them and did you butter each mini muffing tin or did you use a non-stick sprayer
I used 1 cup of dark brown sugar and 1 cup regular and these turned out so YUMMY!!!
Yummy! One bowl preparation and excellent dessert for any event. A five star recipe!
