  1. Charlotte is right - no way will these last two weeks. There are only two of us, but we've already made a dent in the pan. I'm thinking I better get out and walk. These are really, really good.
     
  2. I'll add this to my list of reasons why I love those old church cookbooks so much. Bravo! I had to give some away so that I would not eat them all. I have been so naughty grabbing one bar after another this past day. They are buttery and nutty...oh so YUMMY! I will be sad when I have the last couple tonight. I did use half dark corn syrup since I was running low on the light. I also toasted my pecans before adding them to the filling, it really brings out their flavor. Made for Spring PAC 2008.
     
  3. Mag05 is lying, they will not last a week, let alone a day. They are just so GOOD. Mag brought me over two the other day after she had made these and they were gone in sixty seconds!! I will take this bar to the next church event we have.
