For a richer flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping. Be careful not to overbake the bars; they should be golden brown around the edges. If the glaze becomes too thick, add a tiny bit more milk to thin it out. Store the cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
