Instructions:
1. Preheat & Prep:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it well.
2. Make the Shortbread Crust:
- In a bowl, mix together melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and flour until combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
3. Prepare the Pecan Filling:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Fold in the chopped pecans.
4. Assemble & Bake:
- Pour the pecan filling mixture over the warm, pre-baked crust.
- Return to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
5. Cool & Slice:
- Let the bars cool completely before slicing (about 1 hour) to allow the filling to firm up.
- Cut into squares and serve!
Tips for Success:
-
- Want it extra gooey? Use ⅔ cup of corn syrup instead of ½ cup.
- No corn syrup? Swap it for maple syrup or honey for a natural sweetener alternative.
- Make it Fancy! Drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle with sea salt for an extra treat.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3–4 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
