Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Pour the pecan mixture over the partially baked crust, spreading it evenly. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool the bars in the pan on a wire rack for 1 hour. Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan, and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into squares and serve.
