Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1 tablespoon rum or 1 teaspoon rum extract
2 cups pecan halves
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 teaspoons rum or 1/2 teaspoon rum extract plus 2 teaspoons water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray (do not use dark pan).
  • In medium bowl, beat 1 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar with electric mixer on low speed until creamy. Stir in flour. Press evenly in pan.

  • Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix all filling ingredients except pecans. Stir in pecans. Pour over crust, spreading pecans evenly.
  • Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until filling is set. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

These bars are a little on the sweet side for me, but they're still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I've tried many pecan rum bar recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The crust is perfectly buttery and flaky, and the filling is rich and decadent. I highly recommend this recipe!
