Pecan Layer Bars

This is my last week of my Pecans Theme, maybe you’ve notice all 4 weeks had pecans, it won’t be my last week just my last week of September… lol. As you can see I love pecans, whenever a recipe call for walnuts I change it to pecans…lol

This treat is one of my short-cuts, My daughter gave me a cookie cook book with short cuts, which I love. And I wanted to share it with you.

As you can tell by the recipe I’ve tweaked it lol…the recipe is called “Coconut Pecan layer bars”…lolol maybe you’ve heard I DON’T LIKE COCONUT!!!!
  






Done!!! ready to slice...

                                              

Sliced and Ready to eat!!!

I added oatmeal instead of coconut....

As alwaysI tweaked the recipe, I took out the coconut

Tips
I tried the recipe with uncooked oatmeal for texture...If you notice in the picture half the pan looks lighter I put uncooked oatmeal....I liked it both ways you have to try it for yourself, and let me know which way preferred...





*If you have a dessert recipe that you are having trouble with or afraid to try, please send it to me along with a picture and I will give it a shot….

P.S. I don’t like coconut

I hope you will enjoy.
