Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with ½ cup of granulated sugar. Add in 1 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the prepared baking pan and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup of light corn syrup, 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon of salt until smooth.
  4. Fold in 2 cups of pecan halves until evenly coated in the sweet mixture.
  5. Pour the pecan filling over the cooled crust and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set.
  6. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan for 1-2 hours before slicing them into squares.
  7. Serve as is or chilled, pairing with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.
