Ingredients

  • FOR THE CRUST:
  • 1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 2/3 cups Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1-1/2 stick Unsalted Butter, Cubed
  • 2 Tablespoons Cold Water
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1/3 cups Light Corn Syrup
  • 1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2-1/2 cups Coarsely Chopped Pecans

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray with nonstick baking spray, or butter well.
  2. 2
    Blend flour, sugar, salt, and butter with a pastry blender or in a food processor until crumbly. Add the cold water and mix with a fork to form a cohesive dough.
  3. 3
    Press dough into the bottom of the baking pan to form the crust. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes (until golden brown).
  4. 4
    In a stand mixer (I used hand mixer and that also worked, just make sure to use a large bowl), add butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix on medium speed about 3 minutes until creamy.
  5. 5
    Add corn syrup, flour, and pecans and mix on low until just combined.
  6. 6
    Spread filling over crust with spatula. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes (or until bubbling), and cool in the pan.
  7. 7
    Once cool, remove by picking up the foil out of the pan. Cut bars.
