Ingredients

Scale

 

  • Crust:
    • 1 package (16 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • Filling:
    • 1 cup light corn syrup
    • 1 cup packed brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
    • Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts and fit them into the bottom of the greased baking pan, pressing down gently to cover the entire bottom.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
    • Stir in the pecan halves until evenly coated.
  3. Assemble and Bake:
    • Pour the pecan filling over the pie crust in the baking pan, spreading it evenly.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
    • Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider toasting the pecans lightly before adding them to the filling.
  • Ensure the bars are completely cooled before slicing to achieve clean cuts.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
