Pear Custard Bars image

When I take this crowd-pleasing treat to a potluck, I come home with an empty pan every time. Cooking and baking come naturally for me - as a farm girl, I helped my mother feed my 10 siblings. -Jeannette Nord, San Juan Capistrano, California

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think they would be perfect for someone who likes sweeter desserts.

I found that the crust was a little too thick for my taste. I think I'll try using a thinner crust next time.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover pears. They're also a great dessert to make ahead of time.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of crust. I found that the shortbread crust was a little too dry for my taste.

These pear custard bars were a hit! The filling was creamy and smooth, and the pears added a lovely sweetness and texture. The crust was buttery and flaky. I will definitely be making these again.
