Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
⅓ cup margarine
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup finely chopped pecans
2 eggs
¾ cup dark corn syrup
¼ cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Sift 1 1/2 cup flour with baking powder in a bowl. Cream margarine with 1/2 cup brown sugar in a separate large bowl, beating mixture until smooth. Stir flour mixture into creamed butter mixture and stir in 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans. Press the crust into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven until hot, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk eggs until foamy in a bowl; stir in dark corn syrup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smoothly combined; pour over prebaked crust. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup pecans and return to oven.
  • Return to oven and bake until the topping is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pan before cutting into bars.

These pecan bars are a great way to use up leftover pecans. They're also a delicious and easy snack or dessert.

I'm not a huge fan of pecans, but I really enjoyed these bars. The crust is flaky and the filling is gooey and sweet. I would definitely make them again.

The pecan bars were delicious, but they were a little too crumbly for my liking. I think I would add an extra egg yolk to the crust next time to help hold it together.

These pecan bars were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would cut the sugar down by half next time.

These bars are sinfully delicious! The pecan filling is rich and decadent, and the crust is the perfect balance of crispy and chewy. I will definitely be making these again.

I've been making these pecan bars for years and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is gooey and sweet. I love that they're so easy to make, too.

These pecan bars were a hit at my last potluck! They're so easy to make and always disappear quickly.
