Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp salt
For the Filling:
3 large eggs
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Set to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Make the crust: In a medium bowl, mix softened butter, flour, sugar, and salt until crumbly. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake the crust: Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges. Remove from oven and set aside.
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Assemble and bake: Pour the filling evenly over the baked crust. Return to oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
Cool and serve: Let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Notes
Use dark corn syrup for a deeper caramel flavor.
Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting and clean cutting.
For extra crunch, toast the pecans before mixing them into the filling.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
