Assembly Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 15 x 10 jelly roll pan. Beat together flour, margarine, sugar and salt with mixer on low speed until crumbly (the mixture will be dry). Press firmly into pan. Bake 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Do not over bake.

Mix all remaining ingredients except the pecans until well blended. Stir in chopped pecans. Spread filling evenly over baked crust. Carefully place in oven. Bake for 25 minutes or until the filling is set. Cool completely.

Freezing Directions:

Cut each pan into 48 squares. Place bars in a freezer container. Separate the layers with wax paper. Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:

Thaw and enjoy!

Comments:

These are my daughter’s favorite. The last time we made them was for Thanksgiving and they were an instant hit. Lots of people asked for the recipe! These would be perfect for a potluck or any family gathering.
