maple pecan bars

These salted maple pecan pie bars are incredibly addicting. With perfect salty-sweet flavor and a chewy pie-crust base. Awesome dessert!

Salted Maple Pecan Pie Bars

butter, softened

brown sugar

flour (plus a few more tablespoons if necessary)

eggs

corn syrup

maple syrup

vanilla

pecans

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and 1 cup brown sugar. Add the flour and beat until coarse crumbs form. If the mixture is too soft, add a little more flour. It should be crumbly but stick together when pressed.

Press the crust into a 9&#215;13 baking dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until top appears dry and slightly puffed. I like to underbake mine so the crust stays softer, but if you like more of a shortbread-type crust, bake a few minutes longer.

For the filling, whisk the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir in the pecans and pour the mixture over the crust. The filling should not be more than just a light layer of sauce over the crust. Arrange any stray pecans and return to the oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven when the filling appears mostly set. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Cool completely and refrigerate overnight. Cut into 24 pieces and serve slightly chilled.

Yes! This dessert has everything I love about sweet treats, as you have so elegantly described! Sweet, chewy, crunchy, flaky...absolutely delicious!

These are perfect for the fall and they look, like what I like to call, "stupid good".
