  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 24 bars 1x

Ingredients

Scale
Crust:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold butter, cubed
Filling:
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Prep the pan: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. Make the crust: Mix flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press firmly into prepared pan. Bake 20 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. Prepare filling: While crust bakes, whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Stir in pecans
  4. Assemble and bake: Pour filling over hot crust. Bake 25-30 minutes until center is just set (it will still jiggle slightly). Don’t overbake or the filling becomes tough
  5. Cool completely: Let cool in pan for at least 2 hours before cutting. The bars firm up as they cool.

Makes about 24 bars. The combination of buttery shortbread and rich pecan filling makes these irresistible – they taste just like pecan pie but are much easier to serve and eat.
