Pecan Pie Bars That Are Better Than Pecan Pie

00:00 Introduction: The video begins with a quick overview of the Pecan Pie Bars, a fast and fun twist on the classic Thanksgiving dessert that yields 15 servings. 00:24 Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper or foil, letting the excess hang over the sides to create a sling for removing the bars. 00:29 Combine flour, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a food processor and pulse briefly until mixed. 01:28 Scatter cold butter over the mixture and pulse again until small butter pieces remain. 02:23 Add heavy cream and pulse until the dough is sandy and just beginning to cling together. 03:17 Pour the crumbly mixture into the prepared pan and flatten evenly. 04:17 Bake the crust for about 25 minutes until it turns light golden brown. 04:26 While the crust bakes, melt butter for the topping. 04:45 In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar and flour until lump‑free. 05:12 Add eggs, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt, then stir in the melted butter. 06:13 Fold in chopped pecans. 06:25 Once the crust is done, pour the filling over the warm crust and bake for another 25–30 minutes until set. 07:12 Let the bars cool for 4–6 hours or overnight before cutting and serving.
