Here's the recipe for the bars...
1 box brown sugar (I like recipes that start off with 1 box of brown sugar)
⅔ C shortening, or oil
3 eggs
2 ¼ C flour
2 ½ t baking powder
pinch salt
1 C pecans, chopped
Cream sugar, shortening and eggs, add other ingredients and mix well. Pour into greased 13" x 9" pan; bake at 350º about 25 mins.
Frosting:
1 3oz package cream cheese, softened
3 T butter
2 C powdered sugar
1 t vanilla
Beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed w/electric mixer, til fluffy; gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well. Add vanilla.
I’m going to make it, Jane. I always name my new recipe after the person who gave it to me (been doing that for years). Thus.. the JANE bars have been born! Hugs and thanks, Mom
