Ingredients (because we ain’t playing around):
– 2 cups all-purpose flour (the good stuff!)

Let’s get cooking (and try not to snack on all the pecans while we work 😉):
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Y’all know the drill – grease a 9×13 baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Trust me, you’ll thank me later for the easy cleanup!
1. In a large bowl, cream together that butter and both sugars until it’s looking smooth as silk. Don’t be shy with the mixing, sugar!
1. Gradually add the flour until you’ve got yourself a crumbly mixture. Set aside about 1 cup of this heavenly concoction for the topping.
1. Press the remaining mixture into your prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes until it’s just starting to get golden. We’re not done yet, darling!
1. While that’s baking, toast those pecans in a skillet over medium heat. Just keep an eye on them – nobody likes burnt nuts!
1. Once your base is pre-baked, spread that dulce de leche like you’re painting a masterpiece. Sprinkle those toasted pecans over top, then crumble your reserved mixture all over.
1. Pop it back in the oven for 25-30 minutes until it’s golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
Sweet heavens, y’all! Let it cool completely before cutting – I know it’s hard to resist, but patience is a virtue!
These bars are perfect for potlucks, afternoon tea with the girls, or just because it’s Tuesday and you deserve something special! They’re like a warm Texas hug in dessert form.
