Pecan Pie Bars A decadent holiday treat with all the flavors of classic pecan pie in an easy-to-serve bar form. Ingredients: For the Shortbread Crust: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt For the Pecan Filling: 3 large eggs 1 cup light corn syrup 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 1/4 cup granulated sugar 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups chopped pecans Directions: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. In a medium bowl, mix the softened butter, flour, granulated sugar, and salt until crumbly. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even layer. Bake the crust for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans. Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the baked crust. Spread gently to cover the entire surface. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing into bars. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan, slice into squares or rectangles, and serve!
