Ingredients

Crust:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter

Filling:

2 eggs
3/4 cups light corn syrup
3/4 cups white sugar
2 tablespoons butter melted
3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Line a 9×13 pan with foil and spray foil with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, and salt.
Cut in 1/2 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. {I just use a fork.}
Press into the bottom of the pan until even.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling.
In a large bowl mix together the eggs, corn syrup, white sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Stir in the chopped pecans.
Spread the filling evenly over the crust as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Bake for 20- 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until set. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into bars.
