I made these for Thanksgiving and they were gone the same day! Very delicious, just like pecan pie. However, I made it in a pan bigger than recommended and it still ran over in my oven. Next time I'm going to use a bigger pan. They're yummy!

I made this last year and people liked it, but, for some reason, this year I made it for work and people are addicted to it. I think I let it cook a little bit longer this year so it had a harder consistancy. I definitly recommend this recipe. It's just like pecan pie but easier and less messy.

These bring back memories. Years ago while living in N.C. we used to get something called "Pecan Short Bars" at a grocery store bakery. They were so yummy and have never seen them since. These taste just like them....so yummy!! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome, I was concerned about how the recipe would work in such a shallow pan but it was fine. I halved the recipe and put baked it in a disposable "toaster over" pan fit perfectly, no overflow. Everyone loved them!!

Nice alternative to the traditional pie. I only had 1/2 a cup of corn syrup so I made up the rest with Lyle's Golden Syrup. It made my filling a little dark but didn't effect the taste. Mine did get a little hard around the edges..but it could be that my oven temp is a little off. Very much enjoyed this recipe Marietta.

Fantastic! Everyone loved them! They are quite sticky...do not attempt to cut them until they are completely cool. I will save this recipes for future use.

OUTSTANDING! I've had distrous results while trying to bake a pecan pie, but these turned out to be incredible! Didn't have all the corn syrup I needed, so substituted honey and maple syrup to make up the additional 3/4 cup and that substitute didn't seem to do anything to the recipe, but perhaps make it more flavorful. The crust on these are to die for...buttery and sinful. I actually cooked the end product about 12 - 15 more and that didn't seem to do any damage either (I was paranoid about it "setting" due to my past pecan pie disasters!), though it did make the crust on the rim a little more chewy and crunchy (caramelized it a bit more--I actually liked that part better...). All in all, a definite winner. One of the best dessert recipes I've used from allrecipes.....yum!
