This Easy Pecan Pie Bars recipe is one of my husband's favorite desserts. They have all the sweet crunchiness of Pecan Pie with a delicious shortbread crust made easy by baking on a sheet pan. It's a perfect way to enjoy Pecan Pie in a bite-size square that's a breeze to serve!

For the crust
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt

- 4 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a half sheet cake pan (13"x18"x1") with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to mix together the flour, butter, sugar, and salt. This is a shortbread dough and it will be dry and very crumbly.
- Press the dough firmly into the prepared pan, covering the bottom but not the sides.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until light golden brown
- While it's baking, make the pecan pie filling by mixing together the eggs, sugar, corn syrup, butter and vanilla. Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the filling over the baked crust and spread it out evenly.
- Bake about 25 minutes or until filling is set. Allow it to cool for at least 1 hour (the filling will be set).
- Cut into squares and serve!
