Tastes just like the pecan bars at my favourite bakery. The only thing I did different was add more pecans. Yum! - 11 Dec 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
OMG...how could anyone rate these anything other than a 5 star? I love these. Just made them for my husband's thanksgiving meal at work. These are great for a potluck because you can cut them up and dont need silverware, plates, etc. Much better than pecan pie, I think. Crust resembles shortbread...but a little different. I doubled the pecans as other reviewers suggested. I will definitely make these again...THANKS! - 19 Nov 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
It's true to it's word if you love pecan pie you will love these bars. I doubled the recipe and bake it in a jelly roll pan..got twice as many and they were wonderful. - 28 May 2000 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
