Pecan Pie Bars

 This time of year many people host a Friendsgiving.  These bars are a perfect addition to such a feast.  They work great as a dessert and are easy to hand out for friends or coworkers to take home and enjoy later too.  I found this recipe on greatgrubdelicioustreats.com.

 Shortbread Crust

2 cups all purpose flour
  1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 c. cold butter


Mix flour and brown sugar in a bowl.  Cut the butter into cubes and using a pastry blender mix the butter in until it is like course crumbs.  Pack this mixture into the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking pan.
 Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.  Remove from oven.  Turn oven down to 275 degrees.

 
Pecan Pie Topping
 
5 eggs
 1 cup dark corn syrup
 ⅔ cup sugar
 1 tsp vanilla
 ⅛ tsp salt
 2 cups chopped pecan
 
Beat eggs, corn syrup , sugar, vanilla and salt together.  Mix in the nuts. Pour over bake crust.  Put into 275 degree oven and bake 50 minutes.
