Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
   Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Make the crust:

   • In a bowl, mix melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and salt until combined (like a soft dough).

   • Press evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan.

   • Bake for 15–18 minutes, until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.

3. Make the filling:

   • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla.

   • Stir in the chopped pecans.

4. Assemble & bake:

   • Pour the filling over the prebaked crust.

   • Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is just set and no longer jiggles.

5. Cool completely (this is the hardest part 😅) — then cut into bars.

✅ Lazy Girl Tips:

• Want less cleanup? Mix everything in one bowl and reuse it for both crust and filling.

• Make it extra lazy: Use a store-bought shortbread crust or graham cracker crust as a shortcut.

• Store in the fridge up to 5 days, or freeze individually wrapped bars for up to 2 months.
