Lazy Girl Pecan Pie Bars

Preheat the Oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Prepare the Cake Mix Base – In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and 2 eggs. Stir until well combined, and the mixture forms a dough-like consistency. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.

Make the Pecan Filling – In a separate bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.

Assemble the Bars – Pour the pecan filling over the cake mix crust in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the top.

Bake – Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and golden brown. The edges should be slightly crispy while the center remains soft and gooey.

Cool and Slice – Let the bars cool in the baking dish before slicing into squares.
