Ingredients

Crust:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ tsp salt
½ cup butter

Filling:

2 eggs
¾ cups light corn syrup
¾ cups white sugar
2 TBSP butter melted
¾ tsp vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups chopped pecans

Instructions

Prep: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Line a 9x13 pan with foil and spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray. (Note: My pics show an 8x8 pan because I halved the recipe. You will need to use a 9x13 pan for the measurements listed above.)
Assemble the crust: In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, ands alt.
Use a fork to cut in a ½ cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Proceed to press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, until even.
Bake: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Prepare the filling: While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, mix the eggs, corn syrup, white sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. After that stir in the chopped pecans.
Pour the filling evenly over the crust as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Bake, again: Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Pull sides of the foil, remove the bars from the pan, then slice, serve & enjoy!

Notes

It is best to refrigerate pecan pie bars after they've cooled. They will keep for up to 5 days stored in the refrigerator.
