Pecan Bars

In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the pecan halves until they are evenly distributed.
Assemble and Bake:

Pour the pecan filling over the partially baked crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed, and the top is golden brown.
Cool and Cut:

Allow the pecan bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares or rectangles.
Tips:

For Extra Crunch: Lightly toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat before adding them to the filling.
Storage: Store the pecan bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the crust and filling a day in advance and bake them just before serving.
These Pecan Bars are perfect for holidays, parties, or simply as a sweet treat to enjoy with coffee or tea. Enjoy the delightful combination of buttery crust, chewy filling, and crunchy pecans!
