Ingredients

Crust

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Filling

1 1/2 cups dark corn syrup
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
4 Land O Lakes® All-Natural Eggs
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine 1 3/4 cups flour, butter and sugar in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/3 cup pecans.

Press crust mixture evenly onto bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until edges are very light golden brown.

Combine all filling ingredients except 1 1/2 cups pecans in small bowl; mix well. Stir in pecans. Spread evenly over hot, partially baked crust. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until filling is set and knife inserted 1-inch from edge comes out clean. Cool; cut into bars.

 

Variation:

Drizzled Pecan Pie Bars:  Prepare and bake bars as directed above.  Cool completely.  Meanwhile, combine 1 cup powdered sugar and 4 teaspoons water in small bowl; mix well.  Drizzle over top of cooled bars.

This looks so yummy! I have no doubt it tastes just as good! Instead of corn syrup, I'd use maple syrup.

Made this for a Christmas pot-luck dinner and they were a huge hit! I liked them because they weren't intensely sweet as some pecan pie recipes tend to be. The shortbread crust was delicate and buttery. Only thing I did differently was to toast my pecans. Yummy!

I have an old recipe that is made with Eagle brand milk. It is my families favorite.

These are the best pecan bars I've ever made. I made them for Christmas last year 2008 and everyone loved them. They're also fairly easy to make.

My family is from the south so we love pecan pie. This recipe is great because the flavor is not as rich as a traditional pecan pie. It is a must have at all of our holiday partys.

Excellent flavor and consistency - I needed to use a few more cashews to really cover the bars.

Bring on the Sunshine and Bust Out the Grill for Bacon Onion Cheeseburgers

I am a lucky girl that my grill master husband is willing to brave all kinds of nasty weather in order to sear our meat for us. Nothing, however, is quite like grilling in the summertime! The balmy weather, the casual atmosphere as you chat with friends on the patio, the smell of your dinner cooking—mmm! It all comes together to make some of our best meal experiences.
