Review This Recipe

Very Yummy

Mallory Crowley from MOHAWK, MI

These were super yummy, but I found them hard to cut. I love baking things that look really good and these weren't the prettiest things to look at. Everyone loved how they tasted though and many asked for the recipe.
Yummy!

Yvonne Gniewecki from

These were VERY good. I made some for work and have already been asked to make them again. I do a lot of baking and I will definitely add this to my favorites!
Excellent choice

Karen McGriff from SAN ANTONIO, TX

REALLY good, like a chocolate pecan pie bar only delicate crust instead of pastry. Oh so good!

Wendy Bowen from PALATINE, IL

I made these for my boyfriend and his coworkers. When I asked he liked them, he told me I could make them every week!
scrumptious

Martha Klaver from POMPTON PLAINS, NJ

I just made these for a fellowship luncheon at church and got lots of compliments. The only thing I tweaked was the addition of about 2/3 c. of coconut at my husband's request. He remembered a similar bar his mother used to make with coconut in it. They turned out a little more gooey in the middle than I expected, but that may have been because I was cooking in a glass 13x9 pan or because of the addition of the coconut. They're so sticky-sweet that most people can't resist them... just make sure that you cut them small enough that health-conscious adults will dare the calories. :D
Magic

Rachel Oliver from MOULTON, AL

I made these for dessert last night and they dissapeared...

These were the top seller at our Bake Sale. We could have sold twice what we had. Next time we will be sure to have lots more. Everyone loves Nestle cookies.
Awesome bars!

Claudia Barron from DELANO, MN

These bars are awesome! That summarizes my family's reaction to tasting the bars. I will definitely make them again and again! They are very easy to make, too.
It's a High Five

JUNE NIRSCHL from BAILEYS HARBOR, WI

The Chunky Chocolate Pecan Bars are nothing if not easy to make, and, better yet, my otherwise silent spouse suggested immediately that I make them again.
Big hit everytime!

Chocolate Pecan Bars

J.E. Cash from ARLINGTON, MA

While out in CO and visiting my son and his s.o., we decided to try something new to bake together and this was it. It certainly contains ingredients I wouldn't have thought to put together, but we all enjoyed the finished product.
Very Good and Easy

Margaret Carter from STONINGTON, ME

Chuncky Chocolate Pecan Squares are very good. Their easy to make and fun to eat. I also made them with regular semi-sweet chocolate morsels and they came out just as good. Great recipe.

My family couldn't get enough of this one! One son called from out of town to ask his little brother to freeze some for him before they were all eaten. Easy and Delicious.

Stella Casias from MODESTO, CA

This is one of the best bar cookies that I've ever tasted and will be a christmas favorite for years to come...
Yummy!

Anita Ruiz from Stockton, CA

I made these just the other day, and they are absolutely scrumptious. :-) So easy to make and so very yummy. A perfect blend of pecan pie and chocolate. I also used semi-sweet chocolate chips in place of the chunks and I'm so sure it only made a small difference in the appearance. These bars were so easy to make and so delicious that I have decided to make them as gifts for Christmas.
Delicious

JANET SNOEYINK from Clarkston, MI

These were a hit. Wonderful substitute to a pecan pie and with a bonus- chocolate!! I took them to the office to share and they didn't last long.
Excellent

Chonna Marshall from PARKER, AZ

Very easy to make and tasty too! I gave some away at a party and they called to get the recipe.
Pretty good!

Janice Goodlick from PHOENIX, AZ

I made these for a dessert after a work luncheon. I heard alot of people say they loved them....and some others say that they were a little too sweet.
Easier than pie

Della Sasso from CHINO, CA

I decided to make these bars instead of a pecan pie for Thanksgiving. Everyone loved them. I lined the pan with the Release foil instead of greasing it. This allowed me to lift the whole thing out of the pan and then cut it into bars on a cutting board.
Made me look great baker!

Takako Hall from COLCHESTER, VT

I am Japanese, and most of the Japanese don't eat or make sweets like Americans. So I didn't know much of baking. But one of my hobby(!) is having party and the problem always laid was the DESSERT! But this year's Halloween party, I decided to make something new, and this recipe was the one I chose. It was a big success! Everyone loved and enjoyed, got so many compliments! This recipe was such a show off, because it's extremely easy, yet looks fancy! Now, I can't wait to make this for Thanksgiving party. I'd love to surprise my Mom in law who is a good baker and also a chocolate lover!
A piece of pie in a bar cookie

Peggy Sue McGaughey from SOMERSET, OH

If you like pecan pie you'll like this recipe. As always with new recipes I try them out on the office before family. For nut fans the reviews were great! Good holiday recipe especially if your running short on time and need a quick dessert! I found this receipe quick and easy to put together. Helpful hint - don't over brown your crust in the first baking!
Sinfully delicious and chocolate too!

Kay Fletcher from STANLEY, NC

This bar cookie is simple to prepare and easy to eat! The crust is rich with butter and the filling is a decadent chocolate pecan pie. My two sisters and I are confirmed "chocoholics" and it was last night's dessert. We didn't even wait for the pan to cool completely. Served with a large glass of cold milk, (or coffee), they were wonderful. The rest of them were taken home by one sister to share with the other chocoholics at her office. This recipe is a keeper.
these are GREAT

JANELL RYAN from CERES, CA

These Chunky Chocolate Pecan Bars are terffic. I made them for a Secret Pal get-together at church and they were very well received. Several people asked for the recipe.
Perfect Sweet Tooth Treat

Jennifer Jackson from FORT WORTH, TX

These bars hit the spot. Great for a pecan pie and chocolate lover like myself. I took them to a party and had to fight for the last one! Thanks for the recipe!
*WOW*

karen tellier from CUMBERLAND, ri

YOU HAVE TO TRY THESE BARS. I HAD MY FAMILY TASTE TEST THEM BEFORE COMPANY ARRIVED....THEY GOBBLED MOST OF THEM UP AND I HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER BATCH! THANKS FOR THE RECIPE!

Kelly Culp from Peachtree City, GA

Hardly lasted long enough to cool.
Awesome!

Janice Tillman from Madison, AL

The only thing I can add is that this is one of the very best bars ever! WOW!
Family Pleaser!

Bonnie from Eagan, MN

I used a bag of semi-sweet morsels instead of the chunks and the bars turned out great. So great in fact that six people who swore up and down they were on diets couldn't gobble them up fast enough and demanded that I bring these every Easter.
Great for PotLuck

Renee Gibbons from Coventry, RI

I made these bars for a meeting at work and they were the hit of the meeting. I used 1.25 cups of chocolate to not have them so sweet.
Pecans not just for pie

Sara Fralish from Altoona, PA

This is a great recipe for those of us who love pecans but not pecan pie.
Where'd they go

Caroline Bailey from Laurel, MD

This was a wonderful treat that was gone in a hurry.
Yummy!!!

m pearce from

Buttery shortbread crust and gooey choco filling...nothing is better or satisfying for my chocolate tooth.
Chunky Chocolate Pecan Bars

Susan Landers from Eau Claire, WI

I love pecans and chocolate, so the combination is great.
Give them time

Katie Mannel from Valdosta, GA

These aren't very good warm out of the oven, but I came to find that the longer they sit, the better they taste. These are very easy, fairly rich, and pretty tasty. I will probably hang onto the recipe.
Chunky Chocolate Pecan Bars

BILLIE KANNA from WICKES, AR

I made these during the Thanksgiving Holidays and all my family loved them and wanted the recipe.
Excellent

Penny Bates from Grand Prairie, TX

Really easy and yummy. Everyone loved them!
It was just the thing!

Rhiannon Jackson from Portland, OR

I wanted to make a sweet snack for my recent move across country that wouldn't be your typical treat like cookies but yet something simple and clean for the car. This was a simple and easy recipe to make and it was perfect to have for the trip. My suggestion to those who dare to take these babies on the road ... individually wrap each bar for easier accessability and a cleaner car!
Bars are excellent

Linda Roberts from Centralia, MO

I made these bars to take to an event at work and someone even offered to pay me for the recipe. Several other people requested a copy of it.
