Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour, mixing until the dough comes together. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Pro tip: Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press the dough firmly—it helps create a sturdy base for the bars. Bake the crust for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.

  • While the crust bakes, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a separate bowl. The mixture will have a glossy, caramel-like appearance that smells absolutely divine. Stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Once the crust is ready, pour the filling over the hot crust, spreading it out smoothly.

  • Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. You’ll know it’s done when the edges turn a deep amber color and the center no longer jiggles. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares.
