Categories     Cookies     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Quick & Easy

Yield Makes 36 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

Crust:
1 packaged yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 egg
Filling:
2/3 cup of reserved cake mix
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Grease the bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 inch pan. Reserve 2/3 cup of the dry cake mix for the filling. In a large bowl, combine remaining cake mix, butter and 1 egg. Mix until crumbly. Press into pan and bake at 350 degrees for 15 -20 minutes until golden brown. Prepare filling. In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients, except pecans. Beat with a mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Pour filling over partially baked crust. Sprinkle with the one cup of pecans. Return to oven for 30-35 minutes until filling is set. Cool and cut into bars.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pie will taste. Use fresh pecans, butter, and eggs. If you can, use homemade pie crust.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it keep its shape and prevent it from shrinking.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: The filling should be slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set properly.

Conclusion:

Pecan surprise pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for special occasions or everyday enjoyment. With its sweet and nutty filling, flaky crust, and gooey chocolate layer, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
