These Bourbon Pecan Pie Bars feature a buttery crust, gooey bourbon caramel filling, and crunchy pecans, making them a holiday favorite that’s easy to serve and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans until evenly coated.
  5. Pour the pecan mixture over the partially baked crust, spreading it out evenly to cover the entire surface.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. The edges will be golden and the center should jiggle slightly but not be liquid.
  7. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve.

Notes

[‘Toast pecans in a dry skillet for 3-5 minutes for extra flavor.’, ‘Use parchment paper for easy removal and slicing.’, ‘Ensure eggs are at room temperature for smoother filling.’, ‘Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil during the final 10 minutes of baking if the edges brown too quickly.’]
