Time consuming and VERY expensive to make but 100% worth it. If you are a frequent baker and follow the directions to the T you should have no issues.

this is heaven in a bar. if you're having problems, seriously your pan might not be big enough. shortbread is hard to determine whether or not it's done but so worth it. it's so pricey so try halving the recipe. :

I have made these the last 4-5 years at Christmas time for a real special treat! I agree completely that it is time consuming,pricey,huge amounts and a bit messy.BUT they are WELL worth it! It's not christmas without them. The hint of citrus is a perfect accent. I love the idea of heavy duty foil someone suggested earlier. I'm making them tomorrow and I make a big trip to Costco to start my baking week to help with the cost. They need to be cut small because they are so rich but I give a lot of them away as gifts and ALWAYS get a great response and request for them every year.

Loved this recipe. I took notes from previous reviews about the filling overflowing. So I cut back on the filling just a bit and place a baking sheet under the pan in the oven. I had no mess! The bars are delicious. Agree with the expense of the indgredients but a perfect Christmas treat!

I ended up with a smoky mess too. The filling never set and I had to get it out of the oven (10 minutes after recommended baking time because my house was filled with smoke. I did place a baking pan under the pecan bars- but it couldn't catch all the runoff. I love Ina's recipes- but this one was a disaster.

Absolutely a holiday favorite! Make it for Thanksgiving, freeze half and they are good all through the holidays. Perfect to grab for those last minute parties.

Easy recipe. A little sticky, but delicious. These were a big hit among the thanksgiving dessert selection.

Love Ina and her recipes. This is a good tasting bar, but not worth the hassle. The crust was bland and needed something to give it more flavor. There is no way to form an edge for the topping to settle into as it will puff up and become mostly flat. This then sets you up for the runoff over the edges as it cooks. You end up with a huge sticky smoky mess on the bottom of your oven. Cooking time is longer than she says as topping won't set properly, but you want to remove pan from oven early because your kitchen fills with smoke and your somke alarms go off as mine did. I won't be making these again.

very good, though it definitely takes way more than 10 mins prep! i think i would reduce the amt of butter in the topping, it was a little too rich for me. and i hope this recipe "halves" ok, because it also makes quite a bit.

This is one of my favorite recipes! I love the flavor the honey gives the filling, and the crust is good enough to eat on its own! Makes a lovely hostess gift and a huge amount!
