Another awesome recipe from Pillsbury! These bars are so simple to make, even with my 2 1/2 year old "helping" me, I had them in the oven in less than 20 minutes. My husband loved them! They are super rich, so cut yourself a small piece. I had a little trouble making the can of frosting stretch out to be spread across the pan twice, next time I make these bars I might use 1 and a 1/2 cans of the coconut pecan frosting. Either way though, they are delicious! A big thumbs up from my family.
