PECAN PIE BARS

Crust

2 sticks melted butter

2 cups flour

1 cup light brown sugar

Filling

4 eggs, slightly beaten

¼ cup flour

3 cups dark brown sugar (1 box)

1 can coconut

2 cups pecans, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon vanilla

Powdered sugar for top

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix crust ingredients by hand; spread evenly in 9x13 sprayed pan. Bake 15 minutes; remove and let cool.

Lower oven to 325 degrees. Mix filling ingredients by hand. Spread over cooled crust. Bake 40 minutes until center is firm. (May take a little longer – if so, cover w/foil for the extra minutes, so it doesn’t get too brown). Sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm.

Cut into small squares. Freezes well!
