These are really quite lovely. They have wonderful honey flavor and are delightfully moist and chewy. I absolutely love the slight sweetness and crisp of the glaze.

We didn't care for these. The flavor was okay but they came out really greasy and almost the texture of raw cookie dough. I tried baking them longer but finally took them out after 25 minutes when the edges were starting to burn.

WOW! YUM-EEE! These were absolutely delicious and so simple. I didn't have pecans so used walnuts and am just thrilled. Will definitely be making these again. Thanks for a fab recipe! :)

Simply divine! The bars are sweet, soft and addicting. They practically melt in your mouth! The prep was extremely easy and the ingredients were pantry staples so there was no need to buy anything special or out of the oridinary. I highly recommend this delightful recipe!

Very sweet and chewy. I did use the glaze on mine, and it wasnt to overly sweet to me. I loved the honey flavor. It tasted like a cakey graham cracker. And i love graham crackers, so this was a yummy recipe.
