PECAN SQUARES

Hello! I have been on a huge dessert kick lately, a stressful day is just relieved with some baking! (and eating what was baked)

This is a good dessert if you really like pecan pie. I received this recipe from a cook book my grandma gave me that was a collection of recipes by Community United Methodist Church. Copyrighted by Morris Press Cookbooks. I have cooked more things from this cookbook and I have enjoyed them all. Hopefully I'll be able to share with you soon!

Meanwhile, combine eggs, corn syrp, sugar, butter and vanilla. Stir in pecans. Spread evenly over hot crust. Bake at 350* for 25 to 30 minutes or until set. Cool completely on wire rack and cut into bars.
