Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups flour

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup butter

  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

  • ½ cup light-colored corn syrup

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For crust, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in 1/2 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pat crumb mixture into an ungreased 11x7x1-1/2-inch baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

  2. Meanwhile, for filling, stir together eggs, pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla in another bowl. Spread evenly over baked crust.

  3. Bake about 20 minutes more or until filling is set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into 24 bars. Cover and store in the refrigerator.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
