Pecan Pie Bars

Submitted by MarielC

"This recipe came from a Borden's condensed milk recipe book. I adapted it a bit. I make it every year during the holidays. Heath chips are sometimes hard to find. Skor chips work well, but the result is a bit sweeter. Six oz of Heath chips is one cup."

I have this recipe, but without the cinnamon and nutmeg. They're easily made and very good, and always go over well at get-togethers.
