My first attempt to make a Pecan dessert. I choose this recipe because it uses a little less flour and I live in Colorado. I didn't have any problem with baking them. i decided to try someone's suggestion of lining the pan with foil and spraying it with Pam. That may have been a mistake. The crust baked beautifully, but after i baked it with the filling the crust all but disappeared. I put it in the fridge overnight and It did end up cutting into bars pretty easily. I took them to the office to celebrate a co-worker's birthday. Pecan pie is her favorite and I wanted a recipe i could get more servings out of. This recipe is excellent for that. People can get a smaller serving than a piece of pie and it is very rich anyway. I put the leftovers of this gooey dessert in the freezer for future snacks. I'm very pleased that i didn't ruin it because baking in Colo is very challenging!
Made two times. Used combined butter 1/2 cup, shortening 1/4cup, in crust and reduced corn syrup to 1cup in filling. Nuts were not measured exactly. Turned out more like bars than pies and that was what everyone who tried them liked. May have cooked a little longer, not a problem. Loved them!!
I baked these in a glass pan and didn't have any of the issues identified by others. These are very easy to make and my family loves them. I am getting ready to make them again.
It is very exspensive to make. land of lakes butter, sugar and pecans are very expensive.
My crust was mixed and cooked as the recipe required, yet the crust after all the baking was crumbly? What did I do wrong? The filling turned out great. I live in Colorado
make a tinfoil frame .... cut a foil length.15'' long remove center approx..6 x 10
Taste like paste. I followed the recipe exactly. My clue should have been the flour in the filling Not at all like pecan pie filling. I won't make these again.
The first time I made this the center wasn't quite done. The second time I made them the center was perfect. I have found that if the crust base cools too much before the filling is put on and immediately placed in the oven the center doesn't cook as well. So, I make the filling first then the crust and everyone had raves for both batches I made. The first time I took them to our church anniversary celebration the second time I took them to a funeral lunch. I had people requesting the recipe both times.
I have made this several times. I learned to leave it in a little longer to make sure the center sets well. All while being careful not to burn the edges.
These are so easy and deliscious. I will make these every holiday season!!
Made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. Easy to make. I used light corn syrup instead of dark. I added a little maple syrup and almond extract. I also toasted the nuts. I think it would still be great without any substitutions. So much easier than pecan pie but same taste.
This was my first time making these, everyone loves my pie but I needed something to put in treat bags and give away. These are perfect and so delicious!!! My husband describes the flavor as butter toffee shortbread!! They are perfect, the only thing I changed was I toasted my pecans for both the crust and filling, it makes them much softer to bite into! Happy Baking!
I made this recipe for our early Thanksgiving get together. It is easy to make, and the flavor is delicious. The crust was a little thick for me in a 13x9 pan, so next time I just won't use all of the crust. But that is just my personal preference. This is a great recipe
I have baked for many years and made my share of pecan pies. These bars are better for two main reasons. They are EASY to make, compared to making a pecan pie and you can cut the size you want. So often a piece of pecan pie is too much of a good thing, these are a delicious solution!
This was as good as my moms pecan pie! I can't make a decent pie crust so this recipe was great :o)
Very good and so easy to make. The shortbread crust is very light and crisp!
These are the best pecan bars I've ever made. I made them for Christmas last year 2008 and everyone loved them. They're also fairly easy to make.
every time i make them, they are gone so fast, and they fight over the last piece!
