PECAN BARS MADE WITH SPLENDA©
I used the advice from the Splenda© website to make these pecan bars as diabetic friendly as possible without sacrificing taste or texture. They were a HUGE hit both at home and at work and no one knew they were healthified! This recipe calls for whole wheat flour which also adds a nice nutty flavor to the crust. If you do not use whole wheat flour often, you can freeze it so it will keep longer.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F; butter and 8-inch square baking dish, then line it with two criss-crossed sheets of parchment paper and butter that.
- To make the crust, combine the ingredients in a food process and process until fine crumbs form; place crumbs in the prepared baking dish and press down evenly with your fingers (flour your fingers if the dough is too sticky).
- Bake just until the edges begin to brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Spread pecans out on a fimmed baking sheet and toast in oven, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, about 6 to 8 minutes; coarsely chop (or buy them already coarsely chopped and toast them the same way, heh heh heh).
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, honey, and cream; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until slighly thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in pecans and vanilla; spread over the baked crust and let cool in the pan for an hour.
- Once cooled, lift out of the pan using the parchment overhang, and place on a cutting board.
- Cut into 24 rectangles.
- NOTE: These bars will remain fresh for 5 days if stored at room temperature in an airtight container. They also freeze well and can be frozen before they are cut, if you like (just bring to room temperature to before cutting).

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with foil allowing an overhang about 2 inches off the sides. Butter the foil.
- In a food processor, blend together flour, sugar, butter and salt until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add 2 tablespoons cold water and mix until the dough just holds together. Press dough into bottom of buttered baking dish and bake in oven until golden in color, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling. In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, add the butter, brown sugar and a pinch of salt and mix on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the corn syrup, flour and pecans and mix until just combined. Spread the filling over the baked crust and bake until golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan.
- Remove from pan by pulling up the foil sides and putting it on a cutting board. Cut bars in desired size with a sharp knife and arrange them on a serving tray. Can be stored in an airtight container up to 2 days.

Tips:
- Use a 9x13 inch baking pan for these pecan bars. A larger pan will result in thinner bars, while a smaller pan will result in thicker bars.
- Be sure to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before baking the bars. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough bars.
- Be sure to press the pecan mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan before baking. This will help to prevent the pecans from sinking to the bottom of the bars.
- Bake the bars for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, as this will result in dry bars.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
Conclusion:
These pecan bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and are sweetened with Splenda, making them a healthier option than traditional pecan bars. The bars are also gluten-free, making them a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
