Directions

2 In medium bowl, beat 1 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar with electric mixer on low speed until creamy. Stir in flour. Press evenly in pan.
3 Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are golden brown and center springs back when touched lightly.
4 Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix all filling ingredients except pecans. Stir in pecans. Pour over crust, spreading pecans evenly.
5 Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until filling is set. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
6 In small bowl, mix icing ingredients (add additional rum or water, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, if icing is too thick to drizzle). Drizzle icing over bars. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 4 rows.

I have made these bars a few times and everyone loves them! They are even better than pecan pie because the crust is so buttery. My husband is a pecan pie lover and he thinks these are the greatest!
