Pecan Pie Bars


Here is the dessert we had last weekend. The Cheerwine Giver happens to love pecan pie and I had no clue so this was perfect! Sometimes when you don't know someone and what they like to eat you worry about cooking with nuts. (Or maybe that is just me.) In the background of the picture is the TV with our severe weather coverage! It's been nasty here lately!

Pecan Pie Bars

1 (18.25 oz.) box yellow cake mix, reserve 2/3 c. for later in the recipe
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 egg
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1-1/2 c. corn syrup
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1 c. chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9x13 inch pan. Reserve 2/3 c. cake mix. Mix together remaining cake mix, butter, and 1 egg. Pat in prepared pan. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Beat together 3 eggs, vanilla, reserved cake mix, corn syrup, and brown sugar. Pour on top of cake crust. Sprinkle with pecans on top. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
