Notes

The Pecan Pie bars are baked when they are a golden brown colour and set. 
These Pecan Bars can be stored in an airtight container and left at room temperature for about 2 days. They will last about 4 days if refrigerated. They can also be frozen. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container. They will lat about 2 months.
When you're ready to serve them, take them out of the freezer and leave them to thaw in the fridge, or warm them up in the oven for 10 minutes.
