- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Make the crust:
In a medium bowl, mix flour, melted butter, sugar, and salt until crumbly but holds together when pressed. - Press crust evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
- Prepare filling:
In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans. - Pour filling over the partially baked crust and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until filling is set and slightly puffed.
- Cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping.
- Bars keep well covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for about a week.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
