A delightful twist on the classic pecan pie bars, these caramelized pecan squares are rich, buttery, and perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use cold butter for a flakier crust.
Press the crust mixture evenly into a greased baking dish.
Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the crust to avoid over-baking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for a uniform filling.
Stir in the chopped pecans into the filling mixture.
Toast the pecans beforehand for enhanced flavor.
Pour the filling over the baked crust, spreading it evenly.
Spread the filling gently to avoid disturbing the crust.
Bake in the oven for an additional 30 minutes or until the filling is set.
The filling should be slightly firm to the touch when done.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Serve the bars on a platter and enjoy!
Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
