Pecan Pie Bars for a Crowd
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

Great recipe as written! The bars store well in the freezer too!
Love this recipe, my never fail go to and most highly requested goodies of all time. These have made me famous amongst my friends and coworkers. Thank you so much for sharing this. I love making these every year, the house smells so seasonal and they are just delicious.
Ive made these multiple times without problem. I even screwed up once and forgot to bake the crust first and they were still perfect! The fact that it makes 2 large pans makes it perfect for parties providing I don't eat one pan myself.
So disappointed. I didn't realize until it was too late that this recipe is incomplete. It calls for sugar in the instructions for the filling but the measurements DO NOT list sugar at all for the filling. Now I have to go try buy a dessert for Christmas dinner, such a waste of all these ingredients & my time.
These are tried and true! I have been making them since they appeared in my Taste of Home in 2004. Friends and family request them because they are so good! HOWEVER, somehow the recipe listed here got changed from the original recipe as "caroltruitt" mentioned. THE FILLING IS MISSING 3 CUPS OF SUGAR! Also, someone mentioned that cutting in the butter took forever. I use my stand mixer for that. I put all of the dry ingredients in and then slice the butter into the mixer and let it go until crumbly. It doesnt' take long at all and works perfect.
These were great and easy to make!
DIdn't the original recipe call for 3 cups sugar in the filling? the directions still call for mixing the sugar and corn syrup, but this one does not have sugar listed under the filling ingrediants
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.
