Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup cold butter (cubed)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (packed)
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides to make it easy to lift the bars out later. Lightly grease the parchment with non-stick spray.
  2. In a food processor, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and cold cubed butter. Pulse the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. If you do not have a food processor, you can use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the dry ingredients.
  3. Press the crumbly mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared 9×13 pan. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn a very light golden brown.
  4. While the crust is baking, whisk the eggs, brown sugar, light corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until smooth. Once combined, stir in the chopped pecans.
  5. Pour the pecan mixture directly over the hot crust as soon as it comes out of the oven. Spread it evenly to the edges. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 30 to 35 minutes. The center should be set and the edges should be bubbling.
  6. Place the pan on a wire rack and allow the bars to cool completely. This is the most important step, as the bars need time to firm up. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper and cut into 24 squares.
