Step 4Tips: I added 2 Tbsp of light corn syrup to the pecan mixture someone had mentioned doing this but I am not sure it made much of a difference I guess the next time I make it I will do without and see. I also forgot to melt the room temp butter but managed to work it in enough and pressed it into the pan and it seemed to cook just fine. Happy mistake but it did take some effort so maybe melting would be best. I used light condensed milk.
