    This was super easy except it didn't cook as long as the directions stated. Be sure to keep an eye on the pie in case your oven cooks quicker. I did add vanilla.

    I followed this recipe to a "T" and the results were less than desirable. Left in for 1 hr. and the pie was really hard and too dry. The biggest problem was that the filling actually spilled out during cooking and the liquid filling left in pan somehow fused to the bottom crust and became a candy bottom. It was impossible to even cut out of the pan. I don't understand the good reviews. Does anyone know why this happened to me? I would give it another go if I thought there was a way to improve the results.

    I made this last night for a dinner party and I had people fighting over slices and at least 3 asked for the recipe! My only regret is that I didn't make one more. I definitely suggest toasting the pecans before using them. Next time make this, I will also cut the sugar by probably 1/4, but that's only because I don't like things to be too sweet. I will also use a mixture of dark and light corn syrup next time. I used the dark syrup this time, and it came out too dark for my liking.

    This is easily the best pecan pie I have ever made. I cooled the mix of butter, sugar, and Karo (of which I did a mix of white, dark, and brown sugar flavors on the stove until it was just luke-warm. Then I whisked in the eggs, added a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla. It baked in about 50 minutes.

    Cooking the mixture makes all the difference in the texture. No graniness, no separation of butter and sugars, no runniness, as in so many other recipes. THIS is now my only pecan pie recipe.

    This was the first pecan pie I have attempted to make - because they usually aren't my favorite but for Thanksgiving I decided I would. Instead of making one big pie I made individual little bite size pies. They were great - I even got a text from one of my friends that said: "I don't use omg much but Oh my god those pecan pies are incredible!"

    This is a great pecan pie - the best I've had. I reduced butter to 6T. instead of 8, and took a reviewers advice by adding 1/4 tsp. of salt and 1 tsp of vanilla. I tempered the eggs, and also strained the mixture before pouring into the pie crust to catch a bit of egg that cooked. Yay Mama Dip!

    I have never cook a pecan pie before and I was scared to death to try because I had heard it was hard. I tried this pie for thanksgiving dinner and it turned out great. Followed the recipe the way it was on here and I LOVED IT. Since then, I have made 3 more pies by request. I will always use this recipe and nothing else. It is so easy to make and comes out perfect everytime. I have a newer stove so it only took my pie about 50 minutes to cook. It was great. I recomend this to anyone and everyone.

    This recipe was super easy to make and was delicious. The only thing I would change was that I let the crust get a little overdone. I used 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 granulated sugar and the dark Karo as well, and the flavor was awesome!
