Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
• ½ cup of vegan butter, cold and cubed
• ¼ cup of brown sugar
• ¼ teaspoon of salt
• 1 cup of vegan caramel sauce (you can make your own or use a store-bought one)
• 2 cups of pecans from Orangeburg Pecan Company, coarsely chopped

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar and salt. Add the vegan butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
• Pour the vegan caramel sauce over the crust and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top and gently press them into the caramel.
• Bake for another 15 minutes or until the caramel is bubbly and the pecans are toasted.
• Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
• Enjoy your vegan pecan caramel bars!
