I was looking for a great pecan pie squares recipe and chose this one because the filling was nearly identical to my favorite pecan pie. I did decrease the sugar in the filling to 1 cup and added 1 more T of butter and a pinch of salt. Not sure I'll ever bake a pecan pie again since this recipe was so good, and you can cut the squares any size you like to serve more friends and family. I might line my pan with parchment paper next time since it stuck to the edges.

A very nice square. They needed just few more minutes in my oven to set up properly. A keeper, thanks for sharing!
