Ingredients
For the Crust
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
For the Filling
3 large eggs
3/4 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
Prepare the Crust
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, flour, and granulated sugar until a soft dough forms.
Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside.
Make the Filling
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Stir in the chopped pecans.
Bake the Bars
Pour filling over the warm, pre-baked crust and spread evenly.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
Cool & Serve
Allow bars to cool completely before slicing.
For cleaner cuts, chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
Notes
Use parchment paper with overhang for easy lifting and clean removal.
Bars can be stored in the refrigerator for neater slices and longer freshness.
Substitute half the pecans with walnuts for a mixed-nut version.
These bars freeze well—just wrap tightly and store up to 2 months.
