Pecan Pie Bars

  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

  • 1/2 cup light or dark corn syrup

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  1. Preheat oven to 375oF.  Combine the flour, 3 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/2 cup unsalted butter with a pastry blender until it forms coarse crumbs.  Pat into an ungreased 11x7x1/2-inch baking pan.  Bake 20 minutes.

  2.  While crust bakes beat eggs slightly.  Add ½ cup brown sugar, pecans, corn syrup, 2 tablespoons melted and cooled unsalted butter, vanilla and salt.  Mix well.

  3.  When crust is done, remove from oven and pour pecan mixture over the top, spreading evenly.

  4.  Return pan to oven and bake 20 to 25 minutes longer, until set.  Cool.  Cut into 24 bars.

  5.  To store, refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Yields 24 servings.
