Great recipe -- and so good for this time of the year. Candies and cookies from the heart make wonderful gifts.
Oh these look delicious. I don't have any pecans on hand, but maybe I will try it with walnuts. YUM!
YUMMMMY!!! drooling now. great shot of it, looks good enough to reach in and have a bite
The results of the recipe look delicious. I haven't baked any cookies or other Christmas goodies. I seem to have lost my motivation to do so.
There's no calories in those bars at all, is there Barbara????? ha ha ha .... I guess if you shake the bars really good --you can shake out the calories..
Awe Shucks--who cares about calories??? It's Christmas... That recipe looks AWESOME. Thanks.
Merry Christmas.

Betsy if you close your eyes when you eat them there is no calories, what you cannot see does not exist, hugs
Oh. Dear. Me! They look soooo yummy! We *love* turtles around here...I'm sure these are even better. :)

YUMMY! Thanks for the recipe! Reckon a "non-baker" can make them? I think I will try! HUGS!
I have this same recipe and make them to give away every Cristmas! Always get rave reviews. In fact I have all the ingredients layed out on the counter to make tomorrow. :)
I'm sure they have like 10 billion in calories in each serving, but they taste so good...
