I have been using this recipe for a while now. I make it often and everybody LOVES it! I decided to make it for a charity bake auction hosted by my sons boy scouts pack and it went for $50!!! To change ot up a bit I sometimes put Heath candy bar bits on top - very good!

This was an easy recipe and very good. My husband said that it tasted better than pecan pie. My son was also able to help. I will definately make this again.

I made this recipe at a food stand for a craft fair. I had made 2 batches for the fair and it had sold out! so I will make it again this year to see if it will do the same.

I made this for one of the desserts for Thanksgiving. I used pecan shortbread cookies for the crust. The bars were so creamy and yummy! Yet it was so easy to put together. It came out of the pan nicely using the foil.
