Classic Pecan Pie Bars

Pecan Pie Bars are a great alternative to the Classic Pecan Pie with a Pecan Pie Filling sitting atop a Shortbread Crust.
SHORTBREAD CRUST
1 3/4 Cups AP Flour
3/4 Cup Butter, softened
1/3 Cup Sugar
1/3 Cup chopped Pecans
PECAN PIE FILLING ** This is a sturdy pecan pie filling meant for BARS, not an actual Pecan PIE **
2/3 Cup Firmly Packed Brown Sugar
4-6 TBSP Flour
1 Tsp Salt
1 1/2 Cups Corn Syrup
4 Large Eggs
2 Tsp Vanilla
1 1/2 Cup Coarsely chopped Pecans
DIRECTIONS
Combine the Flour and Sugar for the crust. Cut in Butter with hand mixer or pastry cutter to get coarse crumbs. Stir in Pecans.
Press the crust mixture evenly onto bottom of ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
Bake the crust at 350 degrees for 18 to 22 minutes, until edges are very light golden brown.
Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
Combine the Filling, mixing well before adding pecans. Pour filling over the partially baked shortbread crust. (Let crust stand for about 5 minutes) Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. PLEASE DON'T OVERBAKE. Check for doneness with a knife inserted one inch from outside edge. Let cool completely. Refrigerate for 30 minutes after cool.
Slice into bars. Makes 36 bars.
This is a Land O Lakes Butter recipe.

    It does look like Thanksgiving! I just made your bars and can't wait to cut into them in the morning. I did use lard in the shortbread, that being the only difference I made. Along w a little sea salt in the shortbread. I had to use 2 smaller bar pans because I didn't have the right large size. So I was able to sample a small piece after setting but before placing in the refrigerator overnight. And it was so amazing. Not too sweet. And the lard was delicious in the shortbread. Thanks for my new forever recipe.

Since all ovens are different and most have hotspots, I turn mine halfway through the baking and I also check for doneness early...say at 28 minutes. Much success to you!

    I hope you do and please let me know how the recipe turned out for you! I think the key is to mix the shortbread just until you have crumbs, and also to thoroughly mix the eggs in your filling so that some of the egg does not cook once it is poured onto the partially baked crust. Also, it is very important to check for doneness early... maybe at 28 minutes... since all ovens are different. Best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving!

    I would reduce the corn syrup to 1 cup, rather than reducing the brown sugar. I have not tried that, but I think that would reduce the sweetness significantly, without affecting the structure of the bars. Please let me know how that works if you do try it.
