These bar cookies are so delicious. The base is perfectly chewy, the topping is rich and sweet - they really taste a lot like pecan pie. They're so easy to make, but they are so good they're perfect for the holidays - to serve to guests or to gift. I made them the first time a few years ago, and have made them as gifts several times since. I have gotten nothing but rave reviews and they have become a definite favorite of mine.
