Pecan Caramel Squares Recipe

Name: Pecan Caramel Squares
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 12 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 0.25 cup brown sugar; 2 tablespoons butter; 1.5 cups coarsely-chopped pecans; 0.5 cup coconut; 3 eggs; 1.5 cups flour; 0.5 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

These bar cookies start with a simple shortbread-like base, then get topped with a layer of pecans and coconut suspended in a sticky, browned-sugar-and-butter mixture. As they bake, the topping transforms into a chewy, caramel-like layer that clings to the nuts. It's an easy bake, mostly using ingredients you probably already have on hand.
