Pecan Bar

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pecan Bar

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.

  5. 5

    Fold in the chopped pecans.

  6. 6

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Allow to cool slightly before cutting into bars.

  9. 9

    Serve

    To serve, heat a pecan bar in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until warm. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with your choice of caramel or hot fudge sauce. Finish with a dollop of whipped cream.
