YUMMY CHEWY PECAN BARS



Yummy Chewy Pecan Bars image

My Mother In Law made these and I "borrowed" her recipe. Hubby loves these. When the guys go hunting, they always ask for a couple of pans full of these to take with them. They don't last long!! What could be better?? Pecan Pie in a bar!!

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pkg yellow cake mix
5 large eggs
1 c light corn syrup
1 c dark brown sugar
1/4 c butter, melted
2 c pecans, chopped
1/3 c vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. Grease a 13 x 9 pan. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, one egg and the oil. Mix until crumbly and press into prepaired pan. Bake "crust" for 20 minutes. Meanwhile...
  • 2. In the same bowl, with flat mixer blade, beat sugar, syrup, butter and the remaining eggs until well blended. Stir in the pecans and pour over the prepared "crust"
  • 3. Bake 45 minutes or until set. Do not over bake as this will cause your bars to be to chewy! Let cool in pan and then cut into bars and serve.
  • 4. NOTE: After my "crust" is baked, I take the back of a large wooden spoon and push it all down into the bottom of the pan. If you leave the edges uncovered, they get hard. I also line the pan with parchment paper and spray the paper lightly with cooking spray. When mine are cooled, I loosen them from the edges and turn them onto a large cutting board. Peel off the parchment and flip them back over with another board to cut. For Weight Watchers: 7 points per bar (if they are cut into 20 bars).

CHEWY PECAN BARS



Chewy Pecan Bars image

When you've got your hands full with cleaning, you don't have time for a full-on dessert stop. But these pecan bars will tempt you and "hit the spot," in addition to making an incredible snack-pack treat when you're on the go. Scrumptious brown sugar and chocolate are ooey, gooey, and satisfying, and they're the perfect reward for a day of hard work.

Yield makes 36 squares

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 packed cups light-brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon bourbon
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon table salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups pecans, toasted, roughly chopped
1 cup mini-chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving 2 inches of overhang to use as handles to remove the bars at the end of baking.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl. Cream together the butter and light-brown sugar, using a hand mixer, in a separate, large bowl, until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla. Gradually pour in the dry mixture, and beat until the dough looks like coarse, pea-sized lumps. Use your hands to form the dough into a ball, then transfer it to your prepared baking pan and press down evenly to fill the pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  • To make the filling: Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, flour, bourbon, vanilla, salt, eggs, pecans, and chocolate chips in a large bowl. Remove the hot half-baked dough from the oven, and spread the filling over the crust. Return the pan to the oven, and bake for another 25 minutes, or until the top is puffed and brown and cracks begin to form (like a pecan-pie topping). Let cool for 45 minutes before slicing into squares.

PECAN BARS MADE WITH SPLENDA©



Pecan Bars Made With Splenda© image

I used the advice from the Splenda© website to make these pecan bars as diabetic friendly as possible without sacrificing taste or texture. They were a HUGE hit both at home and at work and no one knew they were healthified! This recipe calls for whole wheat flour which also adds a nice nutty flavor to the crust. If you do not use whole wheat flour often, you can freeze it so it will keep longer.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h55m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces (use cold from the rerigerator, 1 stick)
1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned into cup and leveled
1/2 cup whole wheat flour, spooned into cup and leveled
1/2 cup Splenda brown sugar blend, spooned into cup and leveled
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups pecans
1/2 cup Splenda brown sugar blend, packed
1/4 cup Splenda granular
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces (1/2 stick)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F; butter and 8-inch square baking dish, then line it with two criss-crossed sheets of parchment paper and butter that.
  • To make the crust, combine the ingredients in a food process and process until fine crumbs form; place crumbs in the prepared baking dish and press down evenly with your fingers (flour your fingers if the dough is too sticky).
  • Bake just until the edges begin to brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Spread pecans out on a fimmed baking sheet and toast in oven, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, about 6 to 8 minutes; coarsely chop (or buy them already coarsely chopped and toast them the same way, heh heh heh).
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, honey, and cream; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until slighly thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in pecans and vanilla; spread over the baked crust and let cool in the pan for an hour.
  • Once cooled, lift out of the pan using the parchment overhang, and place on a cutting board.
  • Cut into 24 rectangles.
  • NOTE: These bars will remain fresh for 5 days if stored at room temperature in an airtight container. They also freeze well and can be frozen before they are cut, if you like (just bring to room temperature to before cutting).
