Coconut Pecan Bars

Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease a 9 x 13 baking pan.

For the crust, cut the butter into cubes and combine with brown sugar and flour in a food processor. Pulse until butter is pea-sized. Add the coconut and pulse once or twice again. Evenly press the crust mixture into a greased 9 x 13 pan and set aside.

For the filling, in a sauce pan place the butter, brown sugar, light corn and salt. Cook over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Remove from heat.

Add the vanilla extract and chopped pecans. Stir until blended well.

Slowly add the slightly beaten eggs. Blend well with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Pour pecan filling over the unbaked crust. Place in a preheated 350ºF oven. Bake until golden brown and the center does not jiggle, approximately 35–40 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into pieces.
