Pecan Pie Bars

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
   • In a food processor, pulse the flour and powdered sugar together.
   • Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
   • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
2. Prepare the Pecan Filling:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
   • Stir in the pecans until evenly combined.
3. Assemble the Bars:
   • Pour the pecan filling over the baked crust, spreading it out evenly.
   • Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. The bars will firm up as they cool.
4. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
   • Serve and enjoy the perfect combination of buttery crust and gooey, nutty filling!

These Pecan Pie Bars are the ultimate indulgence, with a buttery crust and a rich, caramelized pecan filling. Enjoy them at your next gathering or as a sweet treat anytime!
