BUTTER PECAN BArs

Hello, my friends!

I have found the perfect cookie bar in this recipe. Take alomg or serve at home.  These bars are easy to put together with marvelous, melt-in-your-mouth goodness, no matter how you serve them. The recipe is from Favorite Family Recipes, and was tweaked from a Taste of Home recipe.  

Can you imagine how delicious these would be served with a scoop of ice cream on top with caramel syrup?  What a great dessert.  The trick would be in keeping them from disappearing from the pan before you are ready to serve!

Thanks for dropping by.  Come back often; our door is always open and the coffee's always on. Until next recipe - rolling pins up!  💛
