I have always wanted to make pecan pie but instead of making a pie I made them into bars. I always get scared of making pies and tarts. I have made bars before and they have worked better. I thought this would be more of a safe bet especially as pecans aren’t the cheapest nuts around. These bars were actually made for my cousins but I sneaked a few bars to try for myself hehehe, well I have wanted to try them for a long time!<\/p>\n

I liked the sticky topping but I found the base a bit soft. The original recipe called for a salted caramel topping but I didn’t include this as I thought it may of been too sweet and I’m glad I didn’t as it would have been. I wish I used light brown sugar instead of dark brown as it looks a bit dark. Or many I will use half of each sugars.<\/p>\n

I think I may try this recipe with others nuts maybe hazelnuts or walnuts. I did like it and it was easy to make and I liked adding the addition of nuts on the base too.<\/p>\n

  3. 113g - unsalted butter, very soft<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  4. 20g - finely chopped pecans (optional) I added this<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
    \t\t\t
    Filling<\/div>\t\t\t
      \t\t\t\t

    2. 67g - dark brown sugar<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    3. 67g - golden syrup<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    4. 1 tbsp - vanilla extract<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    5. pinch salt<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    6. 1 cup - pecans<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
      \t\t\t
      For the base<\/div>\t\t\t
        \t\t\t\t
      1. 1. Preheat oven to 175\u00b0C. Line and grease a 8\" square tin.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      2. 2. In a large bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, and cut in the butter using a knife and fingers work the butter until it resembles pea-sized lumps and sandy bits form. The softer the butter is, the quicker and easier it is.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      3. 2. Place the mixture out into prepared pan and smooth it out using a spatula. Bake for 15 minutes, or until crust is just set. Don't over bake.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
        \t\t\t
        For the filling<\/div>\t\t\t
          \t\t\t\t
        1. 1. In the same bowl add the egg, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, optional salt, and whisk until combined.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
        2. 2. Once the base cooked stir the whisk the mixture again then stir in the pecans<\/li>\t\t\t\t
        3. 3. Carefully pour the mixture into the tin and rearrange the pecans so they are not overcrowded.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
        4. 4. Bake for about 15 minutes or more, until center is set and not jiggly.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
        5. 5. Let it cool for an hour before slicing. Then place in an airtight container to keep fresh.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
          \t\t\t
          Notes<\/div>\t\t\t
            \t\t\t\t
          1. I think next time I will add a teaspoon of cinnamon to give it that extra element.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
