Pecan Pie Bars (holiday baking #3!)

My 3rd holiday baking recipe! Have you checked out my  previous ones?

• Toffee Bit Cookies
• Toffee Brittle

These are always a classic at Christmas. Always so tasty. They’re good hot, and they are good cold – basically any time of the day they are delicious.

The gooeyness in the middle, but also with the shortbread on the bottom… makes such a great combo.

Ingredients:

Base:

• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup butter

Pecan topping:

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup golden corn syrup
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar and butter, mixing until crumbly. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch square pan. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs with sugar, corn syrup and butter. Stir in pecans. Pour evenly over base and bake 30-35 minutes or until set and top os golden brown. Cool completely; cut into bars.
