Bake these rich, indulgent Classic Pecan Pie Bars. They offer a deep, comforting sweetness that honors tradition while tasting wonderfully fresh. You will love the buttery crust and gooey pecan topping.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, flour, and salt. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Stir in the chopped pecans.
  7. Pour the pecan filling evenly over the hot crust.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are bubbling.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  10. Cut into squares.

Notes

  • For an extra deep flavor, use dark corn syrup instead of light.
  • This recipe balances Spoon’s love for tradition with Sprout’s touch for brightness.
  • Cooling completely is key for clean cuts. Be patient!
