Directions

2. 2In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter and stir in brown sugar until combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. 3Whisk in eggs, 2 tablespoons flour, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
4. 4Fold in pecans and pour the filling over the warm crust.

💡 Pecan-pie bars need a complete cool-down before slicing. Warm syrupy filling pulls the shortbread base apart.
