How to Make Best Ever Pecan Pie Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and corn syrup. Mix well.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the pecans, flour, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows them to set properly.
  10. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve.
