  • 0.5 cup White sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Margarine

  • 1.5 cups Light corn syrup

  • 3 tablespoons Margarine, melted
  • 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
  • Step 2: In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Cut in 1 cup of margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the prepared pan, and press in firmly.
  • Step 3: Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
  • Step 4: While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl mix together the eggs, corn syrup, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 3 tablespoons margarine, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans. Spread the filling evenly over the crust as soon as it comes out of the oven.
  • Step 5: Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until set. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into bars.

Notes

Using parchment paper can make it easier to remove the bars from the pan. Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven.
