Description
These Easy Sheet Pan Pecan Pie Bars combine everything you love about traditional pecan pie into an easy-to-serve dessert bar. With a buttery shortbread crust and a gooey, caramelized pecan topping, they’re perfect for holidays, parties, or make-ahead treats.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×15 inch sheet pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Stir in flour until mixture becomes a crumbly dough.
4. Press dough evenly into prepared sheet pan and bake for 18–20 minutes until lightly golden.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
6. Fold in chopped pecans.
7. Pour pecan mixture over the pre-baked crust and spread evenly.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until filling is set and no longer jiggles.
9. Let bars cool completely in the pan. Cut into squares once fully cooled.
10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Notes
Swap dark corn syrup with light corn syrup or maple syrup for different flavor profiles.
Chocolate chips (about 1/2 cup) can be added to the filling for a twist.
To freeze, layer bars between parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag or container.
