Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and blended.
  3. Add in eggs and pure vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and glossy.
  4. Sprinkle in all-purpose flour and corn syrup, gently stirring until combined.
  5. Fold in chopped pecans, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, leveling the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for golden-brown edges and a slightly gooey center.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before transferring them to a cutting board.
  9. Cut into squares and serve, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.
