Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups toasted pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs, then press into the bottom of the pan and bake for about 15 minutes.

- Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden.
- Allow the bars to cool completely, then lift out using the parchment and cut into squares.
Notes
Ensure the pecans are toasted for maximum flavor. Allow the bars to cool completely for cleaner cuts.
