Pecan Pie Bars

Pecan Pie Bars

Crust

1 Box Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix- save 1/2 C for the filling

1 Egg

1/3 C butter- softened (Earth Balance)

Filling

1/2 C of the cake mix

1 1/2 C dark corn syrup (Karo is super allergy friendly)

1/2 brown sugar

3 eggs

1  t vanilla

1 C chopped pecans (be careful to check and make sure they are GF)

Preheat oven to 350.  Grease a 9 x 13 pan with coconut oil.  Take 1/2 C of the cake mix out of the package and set it aside.  Add the rest of the package to a large bowl.  Add the butter and 1 egg.  Beat on low until well mixed.  Press into the pan.  Bake for 20 minutes.  While it is baking, add the rest of the cake mix, corn syrup, brown sugar, 3 eggs, and vanilla to the same bowl. (why make more dishes? :)) Beat on medium until it is well blended.  Once the crust is done baking pour the filling on top.  Sprinkle all the pecans on top and bake for another 30 minutes, until the filling is set.  It will be tempting to just eat it, but make sure to let it cool for about an hour and a half before cutting into it. ;)
