Owen Bars

"I got this recipe from my mum, who got it from my Aunt Corlene. These were her DH's favorite sweet treat. Sadly Uncle Owen passed away in 1994, but having a bite of this is like having him back again, I'm so glad I found this in Mum's recipe file. I hope you enjoy them also!"

Thanks Aunt Corlene for these very rich, sweet, nutty, little morsels! You do have to cut these into small pecan size servings because they are that rich. But Ohh Soo Yummy!

Although they look and smell yummy....these are very sticky to handle....The condensed milk doesn't solidify completely so this makes it very hard to cut into bars too.
