Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15-inch jellyroll pan.

Step 3

Combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in 1 cup of margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the prepared pan and press in firmly to make a crust.

Step 4

Meanwhile, mix corn syrup, 1 1/2 cups sugar, eggs, 3 tablespoons margarine, and vanilla together in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans; spread filling evenly over baked crust as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into bars.
