Super easy recipe. They were good but a little too sweet for my taste. Perhaps cutting back the sugar in the crust would help.

This was a great recipe, SO easy to make! I thought I'd pass along my major mistake so that others wouldn't make it. The recipe said to cool on a wire rack, which I was doing, but got impatient and put it in the fridge. Well, not having bakied much with chocolate before, little did I know that the chocolate on the top would separate from the rest of the bars! At any rate, people still raved about the flavors and ate them all up. Thanks for a great and easy recipe! I'll know better the next time :)

I would add more pecans. But I do love pecans!

Greasy and thin. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips and they were good. I will make once more and use milk chocolate.

Someone gave this recipe to my sister many years ago, and she shared it with me. We both have been making these ever since. They are SO good!! I always get rave reviews and requests for the recipe, no matter where I take them. The best part is that they are so easy and they take very little time. Try these.

Really good! I would line the pan with foil next time and use 2 cups of chocolate chips for better coverage on top.

This is almost the exact same recipe my mother handed down to me (and it is always a crowd pleaser). Her quanties on some ingredients are a little different: 2 cu. Flour 1½ cu. Pecan halves 1½ cu. milk chocolate chips Since some reviews think the posted version comes out a little greasy, the extra half cu. of flour may help to absorb that. And you can't go wrong with extra pecans and chocolate!

I am so confused! The butter and brown sugar mixture barely covered half of the crust and I had to hurry up and cook another batch so there would be enough. And yes, I realize that 2/3 cup of butter is more than one cube. They came out really good in the end though.

These are awesome! A local deli/caterer sells bars just like these, and I am so glad to have the recipe at last. I have a large family so double the recipe and cook it in a jelly roll pan. The bars are more of a toffee crunch (which is what I was looking for) so I don't think they are meant to be chewy. They turn out to be a rich, buttery, shortbread-type cookie bar topped with a crunchy praline pecan layer. MMMMMMmmmmm! Thanks for the recipe.

I recently tried some of these bars that someone else made from a different recipe. Since I didn't have that one, I checked out allrecipes and found this one. The two had similar ingredients, but came out nothing alike. These are very greasy, and not chewy like the ones I'd had. Next time I'll reduce the amount of butter...but I will be trying again.
