Ingredients
- 15.25 oz package yellow cake mix divided
- 1/3 c. butter softened
- 1 egg
Filling
- 2/3 c. dry cake mix reserved from package listed above
- 1/2 c. light brown sugar packed
- 1 1/2 c. dark corn syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 eggs
- 1 c. Chopped Pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Reserve 2/3 c. of dry cake mix for filling.
- In a large bowl combine the remaining dry cake mix, butter and 1 egg. Mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer on low until blended. Press mixture into bottom of prepared pan. Place in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is a light golden brown.
- While crust is baking make the filling by combining the reserved caked mix, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and 3 eggs in a bowl. Beat at low speed with a stand mixer or hand mixer until just combined. Increase to medium speed and beat for 1 minute or until well blended.
- Remove crust from oven when golden brown. Pour prepared filling over warm base. Sprinkle with pecan and return to oven for 30-35 minutes or until filling is set.

Notes
- If you like chocolate pecan pie, you could toss some chocolate chips into the filling for these pie bars. It would be delicious!
- You can make these up to two days in advance and keep them in the refrigerator. I like to let them sit out at room temperature before I serve them so they’re not too cold.
- If you have leftover bars keep them in an airtight container and they will keep for several days in the refrigerator!
