Ingredients

For the Crust:

3 cups of all-purpose flour

½ cup of granulated sugar

2 sticks (1 cup) of butter, softened

½ teaspoon of salt

For the Filling:

1 cup of light corn syrup

1 cup of packed brown sugar

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

1½ cups of pecan halves

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan to form the crust. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

2. Make the Filling:

In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Arrange the pecan halves evenly over the baked crust.

Pour the filling mixture over the pecans, ensuring they are fully covered.

3. Bake the Bars:

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing.

4. Slice and Serve:

Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the bars into squares or rectangles. Serve as a dessert or a sweet snack.
