Ingredients
1 package (16 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts and fit them into the bottom of the greased baking pan, pressing down gently to cover the entire bottom.
- Make Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in the pecan halves until evenly coated.
- Pour Filling: Pour the pecan filling over the pie crust in the baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
For a nut-free version, substitute pecans with toasted oats or shredded coconut.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
