Ingredients for Best Ever Pecan Pie Bars

  • Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • Pure Vanilla Extract
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Kosher Salt
  • Light Corn Syrup
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Heavy Cream
  • 2 cups pecan halves

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.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
