Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality pecans for the best flavor.
Don't overmix the batter, as this can make the bars tough.
Bake the bars until they are just set in the center, as overbaking can dry them out.
Let the bars cool completely before cutting them, as this will help them hold their shape.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
