Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 9 squares

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced, plus more for the baking dish
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
8 slices bacon, diced
3 large eggs
1 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 cup pecans, plus more for topping
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch-square baking dish and line with nonstick foil, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Lightly butter the foil.
  • Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add the lemon juice and pulse until the dough just comes together. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes; drain on paper towels. Whisk the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla and vinegar in a medium bowl until combined.
  • Scatter the pecans and bacon over the prepared crust, then pour in the filling. Bake until the filling is set and the nuts are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a rack, then lift out of the pan using the overhanging foil. Cut into squares and top with ice cream and more pecans.

These squares are the worst thing I've ever eaten. They're dry, crumbly, and flavorless. I would not recommend them to anyone.

I'm not sure what happened, but my squares turned out completely different from the picture. They were flat and dense, and they didn't have any of the layers that the picture showed.

These squares were a complete disaster. The crust was soggy and the filling was runny. I had to throw them away.

These squares are just okay. They're not bad, but they're not amazing either. I probably won't make them again.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my squares turned out a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

These squares are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort. They're so delicious!

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown evenly. I think I needed to bake them for a few minutes longer.

These squares are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of bacon, but I loved these squares. The bacon flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The squares were amazing! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was rich and decadent.

These bars are incredibly delicious! The bacon adds a nice smoky flavor and the pecans give them a delightful crunch. I will definitely be making these again.
