Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup Splenda granulated sweetener
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup light corn syrup
• 0.5 cup Splenda brown sugar blend
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups chopped pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of Splenda granulated sweetener, and 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into the lined baking pan to form the crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

While the crust cools, prepare the pecan filling. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together 0.75 cups of light corn syrup and 0.5 cups of Splenda brown sugar blend until dissolved.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt until well combined.

Step 6

Stir in the 2 cups of chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated with the filling mixture.

Step 7

Pour the pecan filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed.

Step 9

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and slice into 20 squares or rectangles.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
