These bars can be a little difficult to get out of the pan, but they are well worth it! My husband's favorite!

I'm baking this recipe again this year for the holidays. Thought I had rated it, but I hadn't. It's wonderful! I do bake it 15-20 minutes longer than stated and check it every five minutes. Also, I use parchment paper on the bottom of the pan.

After reading reviews of these being too sweet and the dough not forming properly, I made some changes to the original recipe and they came out really good in the end. I added a few drops of water to the crust ingredients, which allowed it to form a dough. For the filling I also used 2/3 cup light corn syrup, a little less than one cup of brown sugar, and an ounce of unsweetened chocolate. Since I didn't have all of the pecans on hand, I used a mixture of walnuts and almonds along with the pecans. The pan size requested in the recipe should have been slightly bigger, as there was a small amount of crust and filling that remained, which I ended up throwing away.

Awesome recipe! I've made them several times for student group things to rave reviews! Per suggestions, I add 1 tsp almond extract to the crust and mix dark and light corn syrup. Have sometimes substituted walnuts (cheaper)...someone who doesn't like walnuts even loved them! I also just sent the link to a friend who's now making them for Thanksgiving. Thanks!

Excellent taste and very easy to make! I was a little worried because they did get a little hard around the edges and it overflowed into my oven when I baked them...but I read in previous reviews that it had happened to other people so that was a relief! I baked them then let them cool, then covered them and cut them the next day. They were so great! Rave reviews from everyone at my party! When you're pouring the filling over the crust, it looks like it will be too much, but it works just great! Will use a disposable pan next time because of the overflow. GREAT RECIPE!!!

WOW! These are really good! I used dark corn syrup because that is all that I. I made half the recipe and cooked the bars for 35 minutes and they were not runny at all. Great recipe, I will be making these again!

Mmm. I love pecan pie and it doesn't get any closer to the original unless you go to the effort of making pie crust. I really enjoyed how simple, quick, and tasty these bar cookies were. I did not find it at all runny. You just need to make sure it is set before removing it from the oven. I halfed the recipe both times I have made this and it has turned out great. They are less crumbly the next day.

These were good in their own right, but not really what I had wanted. I was looking for a recipe similar to one that a girlfriend had made for a dinner party at her house. These ended up being quite different. I later found out that her recipe does not have corn syrup in it. But anyway, like I said, very tasty in a different way then what I was expecting.

These are wonderful and turn out perfect every time. Anyone who comes within a foot of these bars demands the recipe. I do substitute turbinado sugar (demerara sugar or raw sugar) which adds a bit of cane flavor and is a little sweeter than white sugar. I use a bit less than what is called for but not much. It adds an extra hint of richness to the pecan flavor. Thank you for sharing!
