To make Brown Sugar Bars, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the topping:

- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
To make the topping, combine the brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans.
Pour the topping over the dough and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the topping is bubbly. Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares.
These Brown Sugar Bars are a perfect combination of sweet and nutty flavors. They have a soft and chewy texture with a crunchy pecan topping. These bars are great for a quick snack or a dessert to share with friends and family.
