Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups Sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs
- 1.5 cups Chopped pecans
- 1 cup Dark corn syrup
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared pan, pinching the seams together to form an even crust. Bake for 7-9 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the partially baked crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining 2 1/2 cups of sugar, dark corn syrup, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Carefully pour the pecan mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly to cover the surface.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut into 16 bars. Serve and enjoy!
