How to Make Perfect Pecan Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Measure out 3/4 cup of cake mix and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the remaining cake mix (14.5 oz) with the melted butter and 1 egg. Mix until crumbly.
- Press the crumbly mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the reserved 3/4 cup cake mix, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and 3 eggs until well blended.
- Pour the pecan topping evenly over the baked crust.
- Sprinkle generously with 1 cup pecan halves.
- Bake for another 35 minutes, or until the topping is set and golden brown.
- Let the pecan bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
