Brown Sugar Squares

"Decadent brown sugar and pecans on a shortbread crust -- like mini pecan pies in a melt-in-your-mouth bite! This recipe was my mother's and the squares are a hit wherever I take them. The dessert dish always goes home empty. I usually use pecans, but other nuts can work also."

  3. These were decadent...just like pecan pie! I usually make pies for the holidays, and made these instead, and they were gobbled up! The crust was easy and tasty; I will make these again! Thanks, Simple pleasures, for a variation on a family fave! Made for Spring PAC '09.
     
  4. Just like you described. Melt in your mouth mini pecan pies- YUM! You forgot to mention how incredibly easy these are to make. I often have these ingredients on hand. A great little dessert in a pinch or when I have a sweet tooth. Thanks for sharing your Mom's recipe. *Made for Spring PAC 2009*
