This recipe calls for a box cake mix. I’m one of those people who really love cooking from scratch sometimes … and really love cooking semi-homemade the rest of the time. If I can utilize a cake box mix to make these amazing pecan pie bars … well then … that’s exactly what I’m gonna do!

How to make Pecan Pie Bars:

• Crust. You’ll want to make the crust first by mixing the cake mix with one egg and a stick of butter that’s been melted. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9″ x 13″ baking dish that has been greased. Pop it into a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes and then take it out and set it aside.
• Pecan Pie Filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the light corn syrup, light brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and chopped pecans. Pour this over the crust and bake for 40-45 minutes.
• Cool. Remove from the oven and run a sharp knife around the outside edges to help loosen from the baking dish.  Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

You are going to LOVE these. Especially for all you pecan pie fans out there! Promise!
