Lazy Girl Pecan Pie Bars

Everything you love about pecan pie but in these easy bars instead! Gooey and sweet topping filled with chopped pecans in every single bite.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 16 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups pecans, in pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl or standing mixer combine the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 sticks of butter. Mix well. The mixture will be dry and crumbly.
  2. In a large pan, preferably 10×15, grease the bottom of the pan or use parchment paper to line. Pour the crust mixture onto the pan and press firmly to create a crust. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
  3. In a separate bowl, or standing mixer with bowl, combine eggs, corn syrup, sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans; mix well. Set aside until the crust is done baking.
  4. After 10 minutes, remove the crust from the oven.
  5. Pour the prepared pecan filling mixture on top of the hot crust. Use a spatula or spoon to distribute evenly.
  6. Place back in the oven. Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.
  7. Let cool and serve.

Notes

Use parchment paper for easy removal. These bars are perfect for holiday gatherings. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
