Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup sis flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the melted butter and brown sugar mixture to the flour, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the crust. Set aside the remaining dough for the topping.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped pecans, sis flakes, and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure the pecans and sis flakes are evenly coated with the vanilla.
- Once the crust is done baking, remove it from the oven and evenly spread the pecan and sis flake mixture over the crust.
- Take the reserved dough and crumble it over the top of the pecan and sis flake mixture, creating a topping layer.
- Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove the dessert from the oven and allow it to cool in the baking dish for at least 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into bars.
- Once cooled, cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Dessert Pecan Bars with Sis Flake!
Tips

- Line your baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting of bars.
- Toast the pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- For an extra decadent touch, drizzle melted chocolate or caramel over the cooled bars before serving.
