📝 Ingredients
-
1 (16 oz) package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
-
1 cup light corn syrup (or maple syrup for less sweetness)
-
1 cup packed brown sugar
-
3 eggs, beaten
-
2 tbsp melted butter
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
¼ tsp salt
-
2 cups chopped pecans
-

👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Press 1 pie crust into a 9×13-inch baking dish (trim edges).
2️⃣ Mix filling: Whisk corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Fold in pecans (and bourbon if using).
3️⃣ Bake: Pour filling over crust. Bake 40-45 mins until set (center should barely jiggle).
4️⃣ Cool completely before slicing into bars.
💡 Pro Tips
✔ Extra lazy? Use pre-chopped pecans.
✔ No corn syrup? Swap 1 cup honey or maple syrup + reduce sugar to ½ cup.
