Instructions
Making these pecan pie bars is straightforward, and soon you’ll have a delicious dessert to enjoy!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, brown sugar, and salt. Blend until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.
- Press the dough firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling: In another bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans until combined.
- Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven. Carefully pour the pecan filling over the hot crust, ensuring it spreads evenly.
- Bake the bars for an additional 25–30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pecan pie bars to cool in the dish. Once cool, cut into squares for serving.
