“The holiday baking season is here and I have been thinking about what to bake and these pecan pie brownies are definitely on the list! The basic idea here is the combination of 2 already amazing treats, brownies and pecan pie, into one even better treat!” - Kevin
“I made these yesterday and dipped them this morning! They were easy. I added 1 tsp of Rum extract to a 1/4 cup and filled the rest with water to substitute for the alcohol rolled them into 35 balls then dipped my hands in water and rolled them again! They stuck together nicely! These are AMAZING!!! I will make them again and again. Thanks for the recipe!!!” - Ann
“Pecan Tassies are a cute name for a bite sized pecan pie . These tarts have a flaky crust and gooey filling with a crunchy pecan top. These little gems are a southern tradition and usually served right along with the cookies.” - Debbie
“I've made this several times and it is very good. The only thing I do different is I use amaretto in the sauce. have also used whiskey and they are both delicious!” - Jan
“I wanted to create a new cookie - something that had never been done before. A cream cheese base with the wonderful flavor of cheesecake and a stove top cooked pecan pie filling topped with a toasted pecan. I can't wait to give this on Christmas Eve to my family. This cookie will be a showstopper at a cookie swap or your next get together. Enjoy!” - Tammy
“This is one of the MOST decadent desserts I make for my husband! It's so yummy. His three favorite desserts are pecan pie, cheesecake, and most anything with dark chocolate. This dessert has all three. It seems as though it would be difficult to bake but it really isn't. The results make it seem like it is!” - Renee
“We come from a region were pecans are plentiful. My grandmother used to make these for most family dinners and now my sister does the honors. We love them and they go fast when put out on the dessert table during the holidays. You will love the buttery crust and rich filling. Enjoy!” - Kathy
“This is by far one of the best cheesecakes I ever made!” - Donald
“I've made this recipe a few times now. They never turn out "pretty" like the picture; they look more like a deflated, melted mess. (This may be from using too much pecan mixture on them; however, if I don't use that amount then I'll end up with a lot of leftover because the dough is used up. Maybe the answer is to double the dough portion of the recipe.) Anyhow, once my guests get over the look of them, 100% of them really enjoy them with dozens saying it's now one of their favorite cookies. I even brought it to a Christmas cookie baking event and everyone wanted the recipe. Thank you. This is one for my permanent recipe book that I'll be making for decades. :)” - Mary
“This recipe absolutely deserves the Blue Ribbon it has. I have made it at least 20 times for various groups. I always get raves and requests for the recipe. I have found that light corn syrup can be used. I really like that I don't have to get out my mixer! I have been baking for well over 60 years, and this recipe has to be one of my favorites. It's easy and GOOD!” - Laura
“I made this for thanksgiving and it was the best! Oh my stars was it good. I could eat the whole thing by myself. Not as complicated to make as it looks. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did!” - Debbie
“Easy to make and absolutely delicious. I used a stone bar pan and they came out great! Would definitely recommend as an alternative to traditional pecan pie. Instead of having to eat a whole slice of pie you can have a small square.” - Eva
