Pecan Bars

I made these for game day and I have to say...I don't think my family will ever be able to cope with a pecan pie ever again. Even my husband who NEVER eats dessert (marital point of contention) ate a bar and later told his mom how delicious they were. Whoa. Now you KNOW you'll have to try them. These are from the Our Best Bites Official Cookbook from the blog. I highly HIGHLY recommend you spring for the book. I didn't think I needed it because, ya know, all the recipes are on the internet! Not so, friends. This little gem isn't on the blog and I'm here to tell ya, I'm the favorite kid right now because of this recipe. So go get the book at Costco, or Deseret Book, or if you do nothing else, follow their blog...then make these bars.
