Not so chewy
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Once my chewies cooled they became hard. What did I do wrong?

Rich and chewy!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've been making these for months now. EVERYBODY loves them. Make sure not to over bake. These are supposed to be chewy! It... doubles well as we like them on the thicker side. They are always gone by the next day. Thanks for something simple and delicious!Read more

Disappointing
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I have to agree this was very easy to make. When it came time to eat I was very disappointed. No flavor and did not taste... the brown sugar. Will not make again!Read more

Easiest thing to make!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This dessert was so quick and easy to make. I made it in 5 minutes! These were really good. I did not give a 5 star rating... because I think a five star recipe should be outstanding! Don't get me wrong, I liked these a lot. I would really give them 4 1/2 stars! Read more

These really are good...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I don't even have pecans yet. I was just anxious to make them and have everything else on hand. Since tomorrow's Saturday,... I'll get pecans at the store and make another batch. I made these to the letter, and I don't work for the site or anything, and have to say they are awesome. Not too sweet at all. I did add 1/4 teaspoon of salt however. They have a shiny crackly top, the edges are a little harder and crispier, and they really are chewy, in a melt-in-your-mouth way. Someone else commented that when you add the sugar to the butter that it doesn't get smooth. Mine didn't either until I added the egg and then it was smooth. You have to hurry and get it in the pan though because as it cools it thickens very quickly. Definitely making these again!!Read more

brown sugar chewy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Everyone at church that tried this recipe loved it. One of my friends husband is having a 70th birthday this month and she... wants me to make it for them. I fixed it for a friend who had surgery, and the whole family loved it, too. It is so easy to fix and you have all the ingredients at home. I went to get the ingredients and said that I had everything at home. It was a hit. Read more
