For the Filling

  • 1 stick butter melted
  • 1 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF. Spray the bottom and sides of a 13x9-inch baking pan with baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper letting the excess extend over the edges of the pan - this allows it to pop out easily for cutting into bars.

Add the flour and stir until it is fully moistened. Press the crust evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, making sure to get all the way to all the edges of the pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • While the crust is baking, in a large bowl whisk together melted butter, corn syrup, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Carefully stir in the pecan halves.
  • Pour the pecan filling over the baked crust and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes or until the topping is puffed and set. When done, it should not wiggle. Let the bars cool completely in the pan. Now, use the excess parchment to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into squares to serve. Yum!
