Quick, Easy But Delicious Pecan Pie Bars

This recipe isn't mine; it has been around forever.  It started with crescent roll crust, but now I use the dough sheets you can purchase right next to the crescent rolls.  These are quick, easy, but oh, so delicious.  You will be sure to get rave reviews if you bring them to a potluck!  Your family will enjoy them as well.  You can also add some cinnamon and nutmeg for a cinnamon pecan pie bar.  Just add a 1/2 tsp. of each.


1 can (8 oz) can of Pillsbury dough sheet or 1 can of crescent roll
2 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted
¾ -1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup corn syrup

½ cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 egg, beaten

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a 9x13-inch pan with foil, leaving enough for a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
Unroll dough and firmly press on bottom and up sides ½ inch. 
If using crescent rolls separate dough into 2 long rectangles and place in 13x9-inch pan; press over bottom and 1/2 inch up sides to form crust. Firmly press dough perforations to seal.
Bake 8 minutes.
Combine all filling ingredients except pecans in bowl and mix well until smooth and sugar isn’t grainy.
Stir in pecans.
Spread evenly over hot, partially baked crust.
Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until filling is set and golden brown.
Cool about 1 hour; cut into bars.
