This recipe was originally from an old Company's Coming cookbook. We have had the recipe in the family for years. I decided to make it again, because my daughter is eating without gluten, and this will be an amazing treat for her. I wish I had videoed my husband's first bite of this treat. He gasped with delight! I can't believe the flavour that comes from such a simple combination! Don't taste them while they are hot because the moist centre can give you a bad burn. Let them dry a bit before storing the bites in a tin. http://www.getabiggerwagon.com/blog/posts/pecan_bites.html

My husband almost fainted when he tasted these crunchy tasty treats. He thought they mist be illegal because they packed such pleasure into one moment. Four ingredients and five minutes will put them in your oven. The taste is close to that of pecan pie.
