Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar for crust
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

  • 1.5 cups dark corn syrup

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring there is an overhang for easy lifting.
  • To make the crust, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared dish.
  • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until it starts to turn golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • For the filling, whisk together the dark corn syrup, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter until thoroughly combined. Gently fold in the pecans.
  • Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the baked crust.
  • Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack before lifting out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

To store, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Optional: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
