Pecan Pie Bars
1 package yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter melted
1 egg
Filling
2/3 cup reserved cake mix
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups dark corn syrup
1 teas. vanilla extract
3 eggs
1-1/2 cups chopped pecans
Heat oven to 350. Generously grease w/ shortening a 13x9-in. baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix (minus 2/3cup reserved for filling) with melted butter and egg. Mix well and spread evenly into the greased baking pan. Bake at 350 for 15-20min.
Meanwhile, prepare the pecan filling: In a large mixer bowl, combine the reserved cake mix, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla & 3 eggs. Beat at medium speed of an electric mixer for about 2min.
Pour filling over the partially baked crust. Sprinkle with the rather finely chopped pecans. Return to the 350-degree oven and bake for 30-35 additional min. or until filling is set. Cool; cut into bars.
