I made these for a Thanksgiving desert, because a pecan pie just had too many calories. Now my inlaws expect me to bring to every get together. I've even made a batch for my daughter and her fiance to take home to North Carolina. Everybody loves them.

Maybe I did something wrong, but it ended up hard as a rock...

I made these for a work pot luck. I couldn't find a jelly roll pan on short notice, so I did as another suggested used a disposible 9x13 cake pan and reduced the servings to 24, but cooked the same amount of time. I also lined the bottom with parchment. I used brown sugar in the filling, and per another suggestion I refrigerated overnight. It came out perfectly, and there were no leftovers. Will definitely make again.

I made exactly as the recipe states. These were very , very good. They are quite heavy though so a tiny piece is all you need. Very buttery and very sweet. Since you only eat a small portion, I might want to play around with cutting the recipe in half because the big jelly roll pan makes quite a lot.

Yum yum yum. I was worried about the bars being too thick, since all I had was a 9x13, so I used only 3/4 of the recipe (27 servings) and it was perfect. I also used brown sugar instead of white in the filling, as I like the deeper flavor it gives. I did not line my baking sheet, just sprayed with cooking spray. As soon as the bars came out of the oven, I ran a knife along the edges and then let it cool. Cut very cleanly and didn't stick at all.

Just tried them and I really liked them. I made 24 servings in a 9x13 dark pan, baked @ 325 for the specified time and they came out great. I had no problems with my crust, maybe the ratio of filling to crust is different if you use a smaller pan? I definitely recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe EXACTLY, even using shortening to lightly grease my 10x15 jelly roll pan . 1st) the crust is too flourly and not buttery at all. I actually think it was about 2x more flour then needed; it needed about 1/2 cup more sugar at least to improve the taste. 2nd) the filling was a nice taste but really nothing special. It set okay but I was displeased with the foamy appearance. 3rd) the cooking time in the recipe is not correct as others have stated in their reviews as well; I would up the cooking time once you add the filling to 30 min on 350, but again be mindful to not burn your pecans or overdry the bars.
