Recipe - Easy Pecan Bars

1 pack White or chocolate cake mix;
(2layersize)
One fourth cup Margarine or butter;
softened
1 Slightly beaten egg
3 Eggs
Three fourths cup Packed brown sugar
Three fourths cup Dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 One fourth cup Coarsely chopped pecans

Part of the mix forms the crust. The rest goes into the gooey, chewy
filling.

Lightly grease a 13x9x2inch pan; set aside. Set aside 1 cup of the cake
mix for filling

For crust, in a large mixing bowl combine remaining cake mix, margarine or
butter, and slightly beaten egg Stir with a fork till crumbly. Turn into
the prepared pan. With lightly floured hands, press evenly onto the bottom
to form a crust. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 12 minutes

Meanwhile, for filling, in a medium mixing bowl combine the 3 eggs, brown
sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla. Add the 1 cup reserved cake mix; stir with
a fork just till blended. (Some tiny cake mix clumps will remain.) Spread
filing evenly over baked crust; sprinkle pecans atop. Bake for 25 to 30
minutes or till filling appears set when pan is gently shaken. Cool
completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Cover and chill to
store. Makes 48 bars.
