Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, brown sugar, and pecans.
  • Don't overcook the caramel. If you do, it will be too thick and hard.
  • Be careful when pouring the caramel over the pecans. It is very hot and can cause burns.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Mary's Salted Caramel Pecan Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for potlucks, bake sales, or just for enjoying at home. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family.
