Ingredients

Scale

1 pkg (16 oz) refrigerated pie dough (contains 2 crusts)
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the crust: Roll out one sheet of the refrigerated pie dough and press it into the bottom of a greased baking dish.
Mix the filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Add pecans: Stir in the pecan halves until they’re evenly distributed.
Assemble: Pour the pecan mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly browned.
Cool: Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

For an extra flavor twist, consider adding chocolate or butterscotch chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for a week. They can also be frozen for up to three months.
