These bars were absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe just as it said, except used the light Karo syrup instead of the dark, because that is what I had on hand. My son is a big fan of pecan pie, so I new he would like these too. He loved them and he plans on making them for our Christmas get together. Great recipe. We will be using this one for a long time.

I would suggest dipping your fingers in flour before pressing the crust mixture into the pan. Mine stuck to my fingers until I applied the four, then it worked like a charm. Great recipe!

My husbands grandmother is Pearl Hall. She and her husband, Willie, have both passed away, and every Christmas we make these and remember them both. The story of her winning the Bake-Off Contest 40 years ago, is still a story told often! Sincerely, Kristin Hall (wife of Doug Hall)
