2
In the bowl of a standing mixer beat the sugar and margarine until smooth and creamy.
3
Beat in the tofu and mix again until well mixed.

Stir in the pecans.
6
Reserve 1 cup of the pecan mixture.
7
Press the rest of the pecan mixture into a 9x9x2-inch baking dish.
8
Spread the strawberry preserves on top of the pecan mixture leaving a one half inch border with no filling from the edge of the baking pan.

Put your reserved pecan mixture on top of the strawberry preserves and press lightly.
10
Bake 45 minutes.
11
Once done remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
12
Top with powdered sugar or powdered sugar glaze.
13
If you choose the glaze stir the milk and vanilla into the powdered sugar and beat until creamy. If this isn't liquid enough add more milk until it is at the consistency you like.
14
With a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars.
15
Bon Appetit.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
