Easy Pecan Pie Bars
Let’s talk about Pecan Pie Bars. These bars are one the most delicious desserts I have ever made. We’re talking about a brown butter shortbread crust and pecan pie filling that baked until caramelized. These bars are salty, sweet, crunchy, and chewy. They are so decadent and such a wonderful dessert for the holidays. I highly recommend you try this recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt until the mixture is crumbly. Press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the pecan mixture over the baked crust and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares.
