Pecan Bars Made With Splenda Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in middle. Line an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a few inches of overhang on each side.
• Combine the pecans, butter, flour, sugar, and salt in bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture is well combined and it resembles coarse meal. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake until lightly golden, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately make the filling.
• For the filling: Whisk together the sugar, molasses, corn syrup, butter, rum if using, vanilla, salt, and eggs in a small bowl until well combined. Add the pecans and stir to coat. Pour the pecan mixture over the hot crust and return the baking dish to the oven.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; butter and 8-inch square baking dish, then line it with two criss-crossed sheets of parchment paper and butter that.
• To make the crust, combine the ingredients in a food process and process until fine crumbs form; place crumbs in the prepared baking dish and press down evenly with your fingers (flour your fingers if the dough is too sticky).
• Bake just until the edges begin to brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Spread pecans out on a fimmed baking sheet and toast in oven, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, about 6 to 8 minutes; coarsely chop (or buy them already coarsely chopped and toast them the same way, heh heh heh).
• In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, honey, and cream; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until slighly thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in pecans and vanilla; spread over the baked crust and let cool in the pan for an hour.
• Once cooled, lift out of the pan using the parchment overhang, and place on a cutting board.
• Cut into 24 rectangles.
• NOTE: These bars will remain fresh for 5 days if stored at room temperature in an airtight container. They also freeze well and can be frozen before they are cut, if you like (just bring to room temperature to before cutting).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Cut in 1 cup of margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the prepared pan, and press in firmly.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
• While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl mix together the eggs, corn syrup, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 3 tablespoons margarine, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans. Spread the filling evenly over the crust as soon as it comes out of the oven.
• Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until set. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into bars.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil. In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt to combine. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg; pulse just until a dough forms.
• Transfer dough to prepared pan; with floured fingers and an offset spatula, press firmly into bottom and 3/4 inch up sides. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Prick bottom of dough; bake until lightly golden, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool while preparing filling.
• Make the filling: In a large saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup to a boil over high heat, whisking constantly, until smooth; continue boiling, without stirring, until slightly darkened, about 2 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat. Whisk in cream and salt; mix in pecans.
• Assemble and bake: Spoon hot filling evenly over crust, using spoon to arrange and press in nuts so they fit snugly (create as flat a surface as possible).
• Bake until bubbling and amber-colored, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
• Using foil, lift cake from pan; peel off foil. With a sharp knife, trim edges (if desired). Cut into 6 even strips; cut each strip crosswise into 4 even strips to make 24 bars.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350º and line a 9x13-inch pan with foil, leave enough for a 2" overhang on all sides.
