Made these because my, 30-yr-old son, was coming over the next day. These are so awesome, I froze what I didn't eat...what he doesn't know, won't hurt him. lol

I wanted to try something new in baking up a treat over the weekend. Let me tell you, I am SO glad I tried these - they did NOT disappoint!!! No joke, I'd say they are the most delicious cookie-bar type dessert I've ever had!!! I did have to cook them a little longer than the instructions (I think about five more minutes), and then they came out at the perfect gooey-ness, at least for my taste - retains form but moist and chewy. I DID make a couple "tweaks" to the recipe (I can't help myself, I like experimenting with what I cook) - I used all dark brown sugar (instead of half brown and half white), used a mix of 8 oz. of pecan bits and 8 oz. of pecan halves, and added milk chocolate chips (about a half bag or so). I will make these again and again!!!

I took the advice of a previous review and cut the flour. lowered the temp and extended the cooking time to make the bars extra chewy and they turned out very well. My only issue with them was they were a little bland for my taste. I think if I were to make them again I would add some toffee chips to liven the taste up a little.

These were a huge hit with my family. I've made them several times. They remind me of a Pecan pie in a bar! Baked at 350 for 40 minutes.

These are good. I wanted them to be more chewy. I cut the flour down by a 1/4 cup. Added a cup of pecans. Bake them in a 300 oven for 50 mins, in a 9 x 13 pan. I liked them much better this way. Thinner and more chewy.

I made these as shown and they were GREAT! In my oven they came out gooey in the center of the pan and a little crispy along the edges. A little bit of everything for everyone--I'll make this again and again. Thanks for the recipe!

Oh my gosh, I could tell you this recipe by heart. Everyone in my family loves these except for me. I have had to make these over and over again in the last few weeks. My sister said all she wants for her birthday are these lol! Im not to big on them though. I followed the other reviewers advice and cooked mine at 300 for 60 mins and then let them sit in the oven for about an hour. Im sure this is a recipe that will be in my family forever now.

Wow! What more can I say? I actually RUINED these by adding chocolate pieces- it made them unbearably rich! Plus, in my opinion, they were no where near as good when you got a bite of chocolate with the bar- and I LOVE chocolate. The pieces without the chocolate were incredible! I will be making these a lot in the future- WITHOUT THE CHOCOLATE!!!!:)

YUMM! As another reviewer suggested, I baked these at 300 degrees for one hour and allowed them to cool in the turned off oven. I also added 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 3/4 cup butterscotch chips. Next time, I think I'll add some coconut. This is definitely a keeper recipe. My family loved them!!

I just made this recipe, following it to the letter, and would not make it again. The batter is tasteless. The only thing you can taste are the pecans and the chocolate chips. My husband didn't like it either.
