I love these. They are like little pecan pies, with a sweet glaze. Kind of addicting, but what good desserts aren’t?

Serves: 32 (if you cut them into 32 bars and only eat 1… I’ll call it serves 16.)

1st layer

• 3/4 cup butter
• 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
• 1 1/2 cups flour (self rising can be used)

Cream butter and sugar. Blend in flour and press evenly in bottom of a 13×9x2 pan. Bake 12 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

2nd layer

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup brown sugar, dark
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup pecans, chopped

Mix well. Spread over hot baked layer and bake 20 minutes longer at 350 degrees.

3rd layer

• 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Mix thoroughly and spread on baked layer while still warm. Cool completely and cut.
