This pecan bar recipe is the perfect little gift this winter. Send your favorite holiday travelers on their way with a package of these nutty little bars to eat when they get home. —Sylvia Ford, Kennett, Missouri
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar and salt; cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 20 minutes.
For filling, in a large bowl, whisk eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter and vanilla. Stir in pecans. Spread over hot crust.
Bake 25-30 minutes longer or until filling is set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
Test Kitchen Tips
To cut in butter quickly and easily, pulse it in your food processor.
Calling all chocoholics! For a delicious treat, scatter a handful of mini chocolate chips over the crust before adding the pecan mixture.

These are great! My husband loves pecan pie but I used this recipe with the shortbread crust and he went crazy over it! I did adjust the cook time by about 15 minutes to get a firm set and that seemed to work out well. I’ll definitely use this recipe again.

These were awesome and I'm not even a big pecan pie fan. Added the mini chocolate chips too. I feel like that's a must

I made these and took them to the field while the guys were working. Everyone loved them, and commented about how good they were. The crust is buttery, and the filling is sweet and gooey. Be sure the grease the sides of the pan well, as the filling can be hard to clean off.

These are delicious! Very good flavor....the crust is very buttery and goes so well with the pecan filling. The only downfall is that it is very very sweet. My husband said they were too rich for him. Next time I make them, I will cut the sugar in half. Otherwise, I like them better than a pecan pie!

My problem was that I used the right size pan. Lost half of topping in the oven while baking! Omg how do I get baked Karo syrup cleaned up????? Otherwise it is tasty what is left.
