I found this recipe off the back of a bag of pecans I had in the pantry, and needed something to do with them. I pretty much had all the other ingredients, so I figured to try it out. Was it delicious? Well... it was the treat of the summer at my house! Everyone, including myself, was shocked at how good these bars were, and they will definitely be made again.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 inch jelly roll pan. - I do not own a jelly roll pan, so I simply used a 11 x 7.5 inch pan and it worked just fine.

Crust:
3 cups All Purpose Flour
3/4 cup softened Butter or Margarine
1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt

Beat together flour, butter, sugar, and salt with mixer on low speed until crumbly (the mixture will be dry). Press firmly into pan. Bake approximately 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Do not over bake.

Pecan Filling:
3 Eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1 cup Light Corn Syrup - I did not have this on hand, so I just used 1 cup of maple syrup as a substitute.
2 tablespoons Butter or Margarine, melted
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 1/2 cups chopped Pecans

Mix all ingredients except the pecans until well blended. Stir in chopped pecans. Spread filling evenly over baked crust. Carefully place in oven. Bake about 25 minutes or until filling is set. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
