I first made these Caramel Pecan Bars a couple weeks ago when Andy was out of town at a work conference. He's not much into sweets, but said they were really good, so today I tried it again. Pretty yummy. It could be those two sticks of butter ...
Caramel Pecan Bars
1 c. butter, cubed
2 1/4 c. packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 t. vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 t. baking powder
2 c. chopped pecans
In a large saucepan, combine butter and brown sugar over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. In a small bowl, beat eggs and vanilla. Gradually add to hot sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to the butter mixture and mix well. Stir in pecans. Spread into a foil-lined, greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs and edges are crisp. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. (I baked them about 30 minutes).
