Steps:
- Set oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 13" x 9" baking pan.
- Set aside 1 cup of cake mix for the filling.
- For the crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining cake mix, butter, and slightly beaten egg.
- Stir with a fork until crumbly.
- Transfer into prepared pan.
- With lightly floured hands, press lightly and evenly into bottom of pan to form a crust (don't pack crust down to hard).
- Bake the crust for 12 minutes (don't over bake).
- Meanwhile, for filling, in a medium bowl, combine the second mixture of eggs, brown sugar, cornsyrup and vanilla.
- Add the reserved 1 cup of cake mixture; stir with a fork, just until blended (do not beat, some tiny clumps will remain thats okay!).
- Spread filling evenly over baked crust; sprinkle evenly with pecans.
- Bake 25-30 minutes, or until the filling appears set when pan is gently shaken.
- Cool completely on wire rack.
- Cut into bars.
Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results. This includes using real butter, pure vanilla extract, and fresh pecans. Avoid using margarine or vegetable oil as they can alter the taste and texture of the bars.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the bars tough and crumbly. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then stop. Be careful not to overmix the filling as well, as this can also result in a tough texture.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent it from spreading too much in the oven. This will result in a more evenly baked bar with a flaky crust.
- Bake the bars until the filling is set: The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center when the bars are done baking. Overbaking will dry out the filling and make the bars tough.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Pecan pie bars are an easy and delicious treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a snack. With their rich, buttery filling and flaky crust, these bars are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give pecan pie bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
