Easy Pecan Pie Bars
This recipe is so easy, you’ll wonder if it’s a magic trick! And trust me, your friends will think you’re a baking wizard when they taste these bars.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1 cup of pecans, chopped
- 1 cup of corn syrup
- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with some butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. It’s like giving your pan a cozy blanket!
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, softened butter, and brown sugar until you have a crumbly mixture that resembles sand. Not the kind you find at the beach, but the kind that makes your desserts delightful!
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. This will be your crust, so press it down firmly—just like you’re trying to make the stress of the day disappear.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until it’s lightly golden. Take a moment to appreciate how delicious your kitchen smells—it’s a sign of good things to come!
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until it’s well combined. You want it smooth like your dance moves at a wedding.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and then pour this delicious mixture over the crust; it’s time to get fancy!
- Bake in the oven for another 25-30 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the filling is set but still has that glorious jiggle. Don’t fret; it’s supposed to wiggle a little!
- Once done, let it cool completely in the pan before cutting it into bars. This might feel like waiting for your favorite band to come on stage, but patience is key!
