Instructions
For the shortbread crust

Cup of Yum
For the pecan pie filling
- While crust is baking, blend eggs, corn syrup, sugar, vanilla and salt until well combined. I like to use an electric mixer to make it fast, but you can also easily do this by hand. Then, stir in pecans and pour pecan mixture over crust.
- Reduce the oven to 275° and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until filling is set.
- Allow the Pecan Pie Bars to cool completely, then cut into bars.
