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.
