To make cutting of these bars extra easy, line the baking pan with lightly greased heavy-duty aluminum foil, allowing several inches to extend over sides. After baking and chilling, freeze for several hours. Lift from pan using foil; press foil sides down, and cut while partially frozen into desired sizes and shapes.
These bars are soooo good! Everyone asks for this recipe. Easy to make. Goes great with coffee. The toasted pecans give it such a flavor. Chill before cutting. I like the idea below for lining the pan with foil - I've used this technique before and it's easier to cut bars with the foil method.
I found this recipe in the 2005 issue and made the bars from that. Everybody loved them and I have made them several times since. I am always asked for the recipe. That's why I'm back online. Its so easy to just email the link to people. They have always looked and tasted great! But one tip, I always line my cake pan with foil and spray. Then when they are slightly frozen (with the frosting already on) I pull out the whole batch, peel away the foil, and then cut them on a cutting board. Works great!
