Pecan Pie Bars

Scrumptious! Will be my go-to pecan bar recipe. Be sure to wait a few hours before eating so these set well. Once the set, they cut much better. I used a cabbage slicer thing to cut these evenly. Those new brownie pans with divided sections would work well too. I lined pan with foil for easy cleanup and removal. Thank you for posting

One more five star review! These are excellent, the recipe makes enough for a big crowd and the people love them. For what more can you ask? I used half Brown Sugar Karo (golden colored) and half dark Karo, and they had a caramel flavor that was buttery and delicious. Other than tinkering with the Karo, I made this exactly like the recipe. I'll never make regular Pecan Pie again! Thanks, Jellyqueen.

I'm not a huge pecan pie fan, but I gave these a try. They are delicious! I used light corn syrup, but I wasn't sure that it would give enough flavor, so I also added a bit of molasses (about 1 T), and they turned out great. I will definitely add this to my list of recipes to make again.

I wish I'd never come across this recipe, I swear I gained 5 lbs because of it. All kidding aside, I was going to give it 4 stars as I had a bit of a problem with it being a tad "runny" at first. But it seemed to get a little better after sitting and I think my Karo might have been "not up to par". Then the more it sits, the better it gets. I suggest making them and giving them all away. One cannot stop eating them. This has gone into my Over the Top recipe file. Thank you for sharing.

A HUGE HIT!!! I made this as dessert for a crowd of 100. I cut the bars in bite-size 1" squares and presented them on a plate with mini cream puffs and dark chocolate truffles and Christmas sugar cookies. All night people told me the pecan bars were killer good. Even my kids who won't eat pecans are requesting another batch for Christmas!!

I also made this for the first time for a bake sale. The woman who bought it came back, said she tasted one and had to buy the rest. Very easy to make. It sure was a hit.

Before I tasted these, I was planning on rating them at four stars. Here's why: 1) The filling is "softer" than I like. I'll experiment with some flour added to the filling to firm it up so it will stay put when cut. 2) The crust is just BARELY light brown before adding filling...not what I was thinking of when I read "...until brown". 3) Step #10 is VERY misleading..."or until filling is firm around edges." Well, the filling is NEVER firm around the edges when baking (after cooling, it is though). This led me to overbake the edges. A more accurate description would be when the 25 mins are up and the top is well-browned and the edges are bubbling. Despite all of these aggravations, once we tasted the bars, we both knew they still HAD to get 5 stars!!! We both loved them (and I don't even care for pecan pie.) The crust just makes these bars DELICIOUS!!! Over the top. Thanks, JellyQueen! ~Jeff's Girl Way Out West

Perfect, so easy!!! My husband loves Pecan Pie. I told him he can take it to work & he said he didn't want to share any of it. I have never enjoyed pecan pie & I love it! The only thing I wish would be for the crust to be thicker. Thanks for posting we will make this one a family tradition! **update now that I have been making these for years it is my most requested dessert I always make it at least 2-3 times during the holiday season Thanksgiving-Christmas! Thank you Thank you!!!!

these 'bars' are very good. like many other reviews, they were really messy. i couldn't get an actual bar. they were so gooey & hard to get out of the pan. that's the only reason i rated it a 4 & not a 5. i used a metal pan & i scratched the bottom up trying to remove them. i'm not looking forward to washing it. maybe a glass pan would have worked better.

These were just amazing. I love pecan pie and I like these more than pecan pie now. Some of my co-workers who don't like nuts thought they were great. They are rich so I make only for Thanksgiving. So worth the calories!

These bars are addictive! Even better than pecan pie. Mine set up perfectly when cooled.

I made half a recipe and baked it in a 8X8 baking dish. Turned out great.

I made this for my sister-in-law for Thanksgiving since we didn't have a pecan pie for her, and it turned out great. I don't care much for pecan pies, but these were delicious, even my husband enjoyed snacking on them, and he doesn't care for pecan pies either.

The flavor of these are good, but they're too runny. I refrigerated them to cool and then set them out on the counter for an hour or two and they turned into a huge mess. I'm not sure how I can give them out like this, hopefully (as another reviewer mentioned) they will firm up after being frozen.

This was so amazingly good! I made it for a Christmas get together and everyone loved it. I pointed them to this site to get the recipe for themselves. Thank you!

Wow! what a hit. I made these for Thanksgiving and my family loved them. Their favorite was Pecan Pie. Now they want these yummy bars. I love how easy they are to make. Also wonderful for cookie exchanges. Thanks for a great recipe.

I was really excited to add this recipe to my holiday cookie collection after reading all the great reviews but was incredibly disappointed when I made these bars today. I'm a pretty experienced baker and followed the directions in this recipe exactly, yet the middle never set as a few other reviewers mentioned. The edges did cook so I was able to taste what the bars should taste like, but the flavor of the bars wasn't very tasty at all. Such a disappointment since I was really looking forward to including a pecan dessert in my cookie mix.

I don't know what went wrong! I'm not giving stars because the middle never set (was runny) and edges were rock hard after baking an extra 10 minutes to try and correct runniness. I followed the recipe exactly, using a brand new bottle of Dark Karo. But the taste was fabulous!
