For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
- 5 tbsp ice-cold water
For the filling:
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups corn syrup
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp bourbon or whiskey
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 13 x 9″ baking pan with parchment paper and spray sides with nonstick spray.
- For the crust: Combine flour, butter, and sugar into a bowl fitted with a stand mixer or hand mixer. Beat on medium speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in chopped pecans and ice cold water until the mixture starts to stick together.
- Press crust mixture evenly onto the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are a light golden brown.
- For the filling: Combine brown sugar, flour, and salt into a large bowl, whisk until combined. Add in corn syrup, eggs, and bourbon and mix well. Stir in pecans and chocolate. Spread filling mixture evenly over the crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set when the pan is slightly jiggled.
- Cool bars completely for 30-40 minutes before slicing.
