Made these for a shower, the night before. Lots of oohhh's and aahhh's. A great recipe for a shower goodie because it makes lots! (even with DH trying them, said he had to test them for me.) Guests said they were kinda like butter tarts in a square. I wasn't able to have one but everyone loved them and I had many requests for the recipe. Thanks for posting!! -
excellent !!!! -
Very rich and delicious, perfect for your sweet tooth. Was a big hit at the office. I was a little short of corn syrup, so I topped it up with molasses and I substituted brown sugar for the white. It made for a very deep flavour. -
These are definately dangerous! I made them for holiday gifts and will do 2 batches next year. They were very very good and buttery! Thought I had undercooked them but they firm up nicely. The crust is outstanding and looks like it will come out very thick but it's perfect. -
I can't believe how great these turned out! I have made other bars/squares before and have had a problem with them sticking to the dish. I had NO problem getting the pecan squares from the glass casserole dish. I followed the recipe exactly as written and loved the pecan pie taste in the convenient square form. Perfect!

This is a great recipe for pecan squares. I subbed walnuts for pecans, and made the crust in my processor, I baked mine in a 13x9 pan, this fits great in that size pan. When taking these bars out of the oven they may look like they are underdone, but set more when left to sit at room temperature. Thanks Bev!...Kitten:)
