made them 3 times already, my new favorite !!!
Using special hell'a foil, I see – no wrinkles.
Not a cook! But decided to make for grandkids/family for Thanksgiving. What a hit! My son even asked for the recipe-
-ultimate sign of it being so good. Easy to pick up and so yummy. thank you so much! Had to make multiple batches for this Christmas. Oh, Our Knights of Columbus sell nuts at this time of year as a money maker and a pound of nuts was $12 just FYI. look around you might find from an organization… (usually $8$10/lb the past five years but with inflation this year…)Does Karo syrup work for this?
These were amazing. Our first batch, the nuts got a little too toasty, and my pan was glass, and a little bigger than hers. So the bottom was sticky, not crumbly and firm like hers. Second batch was better. Smaller pan, lightly toasted nuts. My oven is electric and almost impossible to bake in. The heat is uneven. The nuts were $20, but overall less expensive than a pecan pie and tasted better! We're a fan. Thank you!
Your corn syrup looks so much runnier than the glucose syrup that we have in Australia. This means with your ingredients you're able to 1. Mix it better and 2. It spreads on the dough a LOT easier.. Mine was a lump of glue with pecans in it
Thanks so much!
There were delicious ❤!
I finally made these. They were DIVINE!!!❤️
I made this recipe (using walnuts… cheaper!) and it was incredible. Highly recommend.
Toast 4 C pecans until fragrant 350F 10 mins.
Crust: 1.75 C flour, 6 T sugar, 8 T butter melted, 0.5 t salt.
9×13” metal pan generously buttered
Syrup: 0.5 C corn syrup, 0.75 C brown sugar, 7 T melted butter, 1t vanilla, 0.5 t salt.
Bake 350F for 25 minutes.
I’d probably make a little more of the crust. I think they are packing their flour.
Where to get recipe without transcribing myself or paying for it?
Im a person who loves minimalist and simple things including recipes that are easy. Sometimes more ingredients isn't better. Thanks!
Okay, I never make comments from recipes I found online. But damn, these are incredible. I got rave reviews at Thanksgiving. This is a great recipe that I will be making for holiday events for years to come!
I've been making these a couple of years now. Incredibly delicious and so easy to make!
Anyone know the pecan measurment?
I made these yesterday OMG these are awesome!!
This is by far seems like to me the simplest recipe that I have found so far to make and this is the recipe I'm going to use thank you for sharing
Can't wait to try
Has anyone tried this with gluten free flour?
Has anyone tried this with maple syrup instead of corn syrup?
This is the pecan bars recipe I've been searching for a long time…Yummy and easy to make..
Thank you for sharing this. Will be making this thanksgiving.
Oooo I’m making these ty
Fantastic ladies! Thanks for sharing this.
Really sucks that I have to sign in to get the recipe, and therefore get emails, which I don't want. On to the next recipe.
Can I use a GF/keto “flour” such as almond flour?
I have made these many times. They are spectacular tasting and easy to make. Always part of my holiday menu.
