Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 (convection) 350 regular. Line 9 x 13 pan with parchment paper and lightly spay.
- In mixing bowl, mix butter, brown sugar and salt (first three ingredients). Add flour and beat at low speed until the ingredients form tiny crumbs. Pour this mixture into prepared 9 x 13 pan. Spread the mixture/dough to form an even layer and press down firmly.
- Add the pecan halves, flat side down, in one direction (they should be touching each other) to cover the dough. This will be a more formal appearance. As an alternative, you may want to chop the pecans and then spread them evenly over the base dough.
- In a saucepan, melt the remaining butter and brown sugar over high heat. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until it comes to a rolling boil. Continue to stir for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Pour the butter/sugar (carmel) mixture over the dough, coating the entire surface. Bake the bars for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool, then refrigerate for approximately 1-hour prior to slicing for easier handling. May also freeze and then slice after removing from freezer and allowing to slightly thaw.

Tips:
- Use fresh pecan nuts: Fresh pecans have a sweeter and nuttier flavor than older ones. If you can, buy them in the shell and crack them yourself just before using.
- Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
- Use a good quality vanilla extract: Vanilla extract is a key ingredient in pecan praline bars, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a vanilla extract that's made with real vanilla beans.
- Don't overcook the praline: The praline is done when it has reached a light golden brown color and is bubbling gently. If you overcook it, it will become too hard and brittle.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
