Ingredients
- 8 oz Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups Sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs
- 1.5 cups Chopped pecans
- 1 cup Dark corn syrup
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared pan, pinching the seams together to form an even crust. Bake for 7-9 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the partially baked crust.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining 2 1/2 cups of sugar, dark corn syrup, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Step 5
Carefully pour the pecan mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly to cover the surface.
Step 6
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 7
Once cooled, cut into 16 bars. Serve and enjoy!
